Question

Genny is making bracelets for her friends. She can make 3 bracelets in 15 minutes. How long will it take Genny to make a bracelet for all 10 of her friends?

Answer 1

50 minutes

Explanation:

If Genny makes 3 bracelets in 15 minutes, she can make 9 bracelets in 45 minutes.

9/3 = 3

3 x 15 = 45 minutes

She needs to make one more bracelet. It takes 5 minutes to make one bracelet because: 15/3 = 5/1 (Five minutes = One bracelet)

45 mins + 5 mins = 50

Answer 2

50 minutes

Explanation:

15 / 3 = 5

5 x 10 = 50
