Question

Farrah is painting vases to sell in a local craft show. She paints 8 vases in 2 hours. Which is a reasonable estimate of the amount of time it will take her to paint 50 vases?

mount of time it will take her to paint 50 vases?

Answer 1

It will take her 6.25 hours to paint 50 vases because 50 divided by 8 is 6.25

Answer 2

12.5 hours

Explanation:

2 hours translated to minutes is 120 minutes. 120 divided by 8 equals 15. Where it takes on average 15 minutes to finish 1 vase 15 (number of minutes to paint 1 vase) x 50 vases would equal 750 minutes or 12.5 hours to paint 50 vases.
