Question

a newspaper carrier can deliver 240 newspapers in 3 hours. How long would it take the newspaper carrier to delivef 160 newspapers?​

Answer 1

2 hours

Explanation:

Make a ratio. If 240 newspapers can be delivered in 3 hours, 160 newspapers can be delivered in how many hours.

240/160 = 3/x

Okay now, multiply 160 times 3 and that would equal 480. Next do 480 divided by 240 and you get 2. So the answer is 2 hours!

Hope this helped!! :)
