Question

Charisse can pick 1/3 pounds of berries in 15 minutes. how many pounds of berries can she pick in 4 hours at the same unit rate

Answer 1

Hence 4 hours will be

= 60 * 4

= 240 minutes

If in 15 minutes, she can pick 1/3 pounds of berries

then 240 minutes

= 240/15 * 1/3

= 16/3 pounds

= 5 1/3 pounds
