Question

Jimmy can jump 40 dogs in 5 hours, How many dogs can Jimmy Jump per hour?

Answer 1

To be able to determine how many dogs can Jimmy Jump per hour, let's divide how many dogs can Jimmy Jump by the number of hours he took to complete that certain number of jumps. Thus, we generate this equation,

`\text{Jump rate of Jimmy= }\frac{No\text{. of dogs Jimmy jumped}}{No.\text{ of hours Jimmy took to jumped the no. dogs.}}`

Given:

Jimmy jumped = 40 dogs

No. of hours Jimmy took to jump 40 dogs = 5 hours

We get,

`\text{ Jump rate of Jimmy = }\frac{40\text{ dogs}}{5\text{ hours}}`
`\text{ Jump per hour = 8 dogs per hour}`

Therefore, Jimmy can jump 8 dogs per hour.
