Andre is planting saplings (baby trees). It takes him 30 minutes to plant 3 saplings. If each sapling takes the same amount of time to plant, how long will it take Andre to plant 14 saplings? If you get stuck, consider using the table.

Answer:

140 minutes

Explanation:

If it takes him 30 mins to plant three, then 30 divided into three equal groups is 10. Then we multiply 14 and 10 together since it takes Andre ten minutes to plant each sapling. This means that the 14 saplings takes ten minutes EACH to plant.
