a. 300
b. 147
c. 330 botties

Answer 1

To find out how many bottles Alexis would expect to fill if she worked 6 hours, we can set up a proportion using her rate of filling bottles. By solving the proportion, we find that Alexis would expect to fill 330 bottles if she worked 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many bottles Alexis would expect to fill if she worked 6 hours, we can set up a proportion using her rate of filling bottles.

First, we need to determine her rate of filling bottles per hour. Since she fills 220 bottles in a 4-hour shift, her rate is 220/4 = 55 bottles per hour.

Next, we can set up the proportion:

4 hours → 220 bottles

6 hours → x bottles

We can cross multiply to solve for x:

4x = 6 * 220

x = 6 * 220 / 4 = 330

Therefore, Alexis would expect to fill 330 bottles if she worked 6 hours.
