Question

Diante can make 5 neckties in 4 hours.

Select the two true statements about the ratio between the hours he works and the neckties he produces.
A. It takes Diante 1. 25 hours to make one necktie.
B. Diante makes 45 of a necktie per hour.
C. It takes Diante 45 hour to make a necktie.
D. Diante makes 1. 25 neckties per hour

Answer 1

The two true statements about the ratio between the hours Diante works and the neckties he produces are:

A. It takes Diante 1.25 hours to make one necktie.

D. Diante makes 1.25 neckties per hour.

To see this, we can use the formula:

rate = amount of work / time

where "rate" is the number of neckties per hour, "amount of work" is the number of neckties produced, and "time" is the number of hours worked.

Using the given information, we can set up the following equation:

5 / 4 = rate

Solving for the rate, we get:

rate = 1.25 neckties per hour

This means that Diante can make 1.25 neckties in one hour, or it takes him 1.25 hours to make one necktie. Therefore, statements A and D are true. Statements B and C are not true because they do not match the calculated rate.
