Question

It takes Benjamin 28 minutes to mow 2 laws. Assuming the lawns are the same size and Benjamin works at the same speed, about how long will it take him to mow 5 lawns?

Answer 1

your answer is 70 min to mow 5 lawns

Explanation:

Step 1

if it takes him 28 min to mow 2 lawns.

to mow 4 lawns, it would be 28+28 or 28x2=56

step 2

to figure out how long t would take to mow 5 lawns, you first have to figure out how much time was spent on 1 lawn.

which is: 28/2= 14

Step 3

now all you have to do it add

56+14

which gives you the answer

70
