Question

The number of necklaces Lilly can make varies directly with the amount of time she spends making the necklaces. She can make 6 necklaces in an hour. How many necklaces can Lilly make in 5 hours?

a) 11
b) 15
c) 20
d) 30

Answer 1

Lilly can make 6 necklaces in one hour, so in 5 hours, she can make 6 necklaces/hour multiplied by 5 hours, which equals 30 necklaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of necklaces Lilly can make is proportional to the amount of time she spends making them. Since we know that Lilly can make 6 necklaces in one hour, we can find out how many necklaces she can make in 5 hours by simply multiplying the number of necklaces she can make in one hour by 5.

6 necklaces/hour × 5 hours = 30 necklaces

Therefore, Lilly can make 30 necklaces in 5 hours. The correct answer is d) 30.
