Question

2. Manuel can mow 2 yards per hour. Let h represent the number of hours,

Which equation best represents how long it will take him to mow 30 yards?
2h = 30
30 (2) = h
30h = 2
h/2=30​

Answer 1

The correct equation to represent how long it will take Manuel to mow 30 yards, given his rate of 2 yards per hour, is 2h = 30. Solving for h, we find that h = 30 / 2, which means it will take him 15 hours to mow 30 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question deals with a rate problem where Manuel can mow 2 yards per hour. We want to find out how long it will take him to mow 30 yards. Using the given rate, we set up the equation in terms of hours (h).

Since he mows 2 yards in one hour, for h hours he would mow 2h yards. We are looking to find when 2h equals 30, since we want to know the number of hours it will take to mow 30 yards. Therefore, the correct equation would be 2h = 30.

To find the value of h, we divide both sides of the equation by 2, which gives us:

h = 30 / 2
h = 15 hours

Thus, it will take Manuel 15 hours to mow 30 yards.
