`c)1 \: hour`
​

Answer 1

18 nuts in 12 minutes, 13.5 nuts in 4 minutes and 90 nuts in one hour

Explanation:

12 min :

12/6 = 2

2 x 9 = 18 nuts in 12 minuts

4 min:

6/4 = 1.5

1.5 x 9 = 13.5 nuts in 4 minutes

(round to 13 if whole nuts only)

1 hour:

1 hour = 60 mins

60/6 = 10

9 x 10 = 90 nuts in one hour
