Answer:

So it will take 6 minutes to ring up 72 items.

Explanation:

Well this seems pretty simple just have to reads the question and know what to find.

So what we know :

A cashier can ring up 12 items per minute

So :

1 minute = 12 Minutes

And we have to find :

How long for 72 items

So since we know he can do 12 in a minute and it is asking how many minutes it will take for 72 we can divide.

So :

72 / 12

=

6

So it will take 6 minutes to ring up 72 items.

I hope this helps!
