Answer:63

Step-by-step explanation: because you keep adding until you get to 58,000 like 5,000 10,000 and keep adding more until you get to 58,000 or over it then you count how many times you counted and multiply it by 9

Answer:

104 min

Explanation:

first you could write this as a ratio

5,000/9 = 58,000/x

you should find out how much you will get in a minute and you do that be dividing

5000/9= 555.56/1 ( I rounded )

now you could divide 58,000 and 555.56 to see how much time it takes

the time it takes is 104 min ( i rounded )

Answer check:

multiply 555.56 times 104 to see if your answer is about 58,000

the answer i got is 57778.24, which is close to 58000
