About 11 or 10 cars
60/17 = 3.5
3.5 x 3 = 10.5

Answer:

10 cars

Explanation:

he can vacuum 3 cars in 17 minutes

so in 1 hour its (60/17) x 3

Or you can do 17/3 for how long it takes to clean 1 car

then divide 60 by that number, you round down for both since you don't complete the car if its a decimal
