Question

You spend 150 minutes in 3 classes. Write and solve a proportion to find how many minutes you spend in 5 classes.

Answer 1

250 minutes

Explanation:

Let's write the proportion as a fraction.

• 
  `(150 minutes)/(3 classes) = (x minutes)/(5 classes)`

Now, let's solve the proportion.

• 
  `50 = (x)/(5)`
• 
  `50 * 5 = (x)/(5) * 5`
• 
  `250 = x`

Therefore, you spend 250 minutes in 5 classes.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
