Question

Brandi buys 1 dozen ears of corn for $6.96. Johanna buys on and a half dozen ears of corn at the same price per ear as Brandi. How much does Johanna pay in total for her corn?

Answer 1

If Wyatt can husk at least 12 an hour, then to work out how much 72 takes, we do 72 ÷ 12 to find out the time. The answer is 6.

If Wyatt can husk 18 at most, then we do 72 ÷ 18 = 4 hours.

Wyatt can husk 72 dozen ears in anywhere between 4 and 6 hours, but if you were to average it, you would get 5 hours. ((4 + 6) ÷ 2 = 5).

Answer 2

Explanation:

Johanna is buying 1 1/2 at the same price as Brandi. Multiply the total price by 1 1/2 to find the price.

6.96=1 dozen

x=1 1/2 dozen

x=$10.44
