Question

Leah peeled 175 oranges in 7 hours at that rate how many ornages would she peel in 12 min

Answer 1

Explanation:

--> If 7 hrs= 175 oranges

1 hr= 175/7=25

1hr= 60 minutes

So, leah can peal 25 oranges in 60 mins.

Let the number of oranges peeled in 12 mins be x.

60x=25*12

x= 25*12/60

x=300/60

x=5

Leah can peel 5 oranges in 12 minutes,

Answer 2

The answer is 5

Explanation:

You divide 175 divided by 7 to find the hourly rate of how many oranges Leah peels. 60 minutes are in a hour. So 12 times 5 is 60. If 175 divided by 7 is 25. And that's hour much she peels in an hour. You divide it by five to find the 12 minute rate, because 12 times 5 is 60 that is equivalent to your hourly rate.
