Question

Kay is an artist who makes beaded bracelets to sell at her craft booth on the weekends. The number of bracelets she can make varies directly with the amount of time she spends making the bracelets. If she can make 5 bracelets in 3 hours, how long will it take her to make 15 bracelets? 813 hours 9 hours 25 hours 45 hours

Answer 1

9 hours

Explanation:

Number of bracelet varies directly with the amount of time she spends

If number of bracelet =n

Amount of time=t

It means,

n=kt

5 bracelet in three hours

5=k3

k=5/3

To make 15 bracelet,

n=kt

15=5/3*t

15=5/3t

t=15÷5/3

=15×3/5

=45/5

t=9 hours

Kay will spend 9 hours making 15 bracelet
