Question

Leon spent 8 minutes on the phone while routing 4 phone calls. if he routes 6 phone calls, how much time will leon have spent on the phone in total? assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer 1

12 minutes will be spent by leon for routing 6 phone calls

Explanation:

8 minutes are taken for routing 4 phone calls

let, minutes needed for routing 6 phone calls = x

as the relationship is directly proportional,

x/8 = 6/4

x = 6/4 * 8 = 12 minutes

Answer 2

8 minutes/4 calls = m minutes/6 calls

4m = 48

m = 12 minutes
