Question

Farrah is painting vases to sell in a local craft show. She paints 8 vases in 2 hours. Which is a reasonable estimate of the amount of time it will take her to paint 50 vases?

Responses
A between 13 and 14
B between 14 and 15
C between 12 and 13
D between 11 and 12

Answer 1

C.)

Explanation:

1.) Since she does 8 vases in 2 hours, she would do 4 vases in 1 hour.

2.) By using this, we divide 50/4 to figure out the amount of hours. This is equal to 25/2, which is equal to 12.5.

3.) Now, check the options. C.) fits this situation the best. Therefore, C.) is the answer.
