Question

Tre knows that he can mow 3 lawns in two hours. Tre starts mowing on Monday and wants to complete his 20 lawns before Friday. If he wants to work an equal amount each day, how many hours will he have to work each day to mow all 20 lawns? Explain your process.

Answer 1

Answer: Tre wants to mow 20 lawns in 5 days, so he needs to mow 20/5=<<20/5=4>>4 lawns per day.

If Tre can mow 3 lawns in 2 hours, then he can mow 1 lawn in 2/3=<<2/3=0.67>>0.67 hours.

This means Tre will have to work 4/0.67=<<4/0.67=6>>6 hours each day to mow all 20 lawns. Answer: \boxed{6}.
