1
spends making the baskets. She can make 4 baskets in hour.
2
How many baskets can Nikki make in 5 hours?

Answer 1

Nikki can make 10 baskets in 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion using the given information. We know that Nikki can make 4 baskets in 2 hours, so we can write the proportion as:

4 baskets / 2 hours = x baskets / 5 hours.

To solve for x, we can cross multiply and then divide:
4 * 5 = 2 * x
20 = 2x
x = 10.

Therefore, Nikki can make 10 baskets in 5 hours.
