Question

on average, Jonny can pick 2/3 of the ripe apples on an apple tree in 1/2 an hour .At this rate, how long will it take him to pick all of the ripe apples on his 24 apple trees?

Answer 1

18h

Explanation:

let the number of ripe apples on a tree be x

2x/3 = 1/2

x = 1/2 ÷ 2/3 = 3/4

time taken for him to pick all the ripe apples from 1 tree = 3/4 h

total amount of time taken = 24 x 3/4 = 18h
