Question

If it takes 30 seconds to break 12 things how many things can you break in 1 minuet

Answer 1

You can break 24 things

Explanation:

One minute is 60 seconds, so all you have to do is double how many things you can break in 30 seconds

Answer 2

x = 24

Explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

30 seconds 60 seconds

------------------ = --------------

12 things x things

Using cross products

30x = 60 * 12

Divide by 30

30x/30 = 60 * 12/30

x = 24
