Question

Dylan decides to finish a particular knitted scarf this scarf already has 215 stitches Dillon it's at a constant rate after 6 minutes a scarf has 365 stitches if it's the finished scarf has 3840 stiches, how much total time did dylan spend finishing it?

Answer 1

Dylan knits at a rate of 25 stitches per minute, and after calculating the number of stitches left to complete the scarf, it is determined that Dylan spent a total of 145 minutes finishing the scarf.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the total amount of time Dylan spent knitting based on stitches per minute and the total number of stitches. To solve this, we first find out the rate at which Dylan knits.

First, calculate the number of stitches made in 6 minutes:
Stitches after 6 minutes - Initial stitches = 365 - 215

= 150 stitches in 6 minutes

Now, calculate the rate per minute:
150 stitches / 6 minutes = 25 stitches per minute

To find the total time to finish the scarf, calculate how many more stitches need to be made:
Total stitches needed - Stitches already made = 3840 - 215

= 3625 stitches to be made

Finally, calculate the total time needed:
3625 stitches / 25 stitches per minute = 145 minutes

So, Dylan spent a total of 145 minutes to finish the scarf.
