Question

Liz is taking guitar lessons and practices every night. Yesterday, she played a total of 40 chords in 8 minutes. Today, she will play chords for 5 minutes.

If she plays at the same rate, how many chords will Liz play today?

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

If you divide by eight, it is equivalent to five cords per minutes.

Now you know that she plays five cords per minute, right?

So you want to multiply five by five, because she plays a total of five minutes.
