Question

Daisy made 6 phone calls in 13 hour. At that rate, how many phone calls can she make in 1 hour?

Answer 1

At one hour she could make a call(1 call I mean)

Because 6 calls in 13 hours means that 5 calls 2 hours with a call 3 hours.

Answer 2

She can make almost 1 phone call in an hour (particularly, 46 minutes of call per hour)

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using ratios and proportions.

Step 1: Identify the "knowns" from the "unknown."

It is known that Daisy can make 6 phone calls in 13 hours. Now, the problem is asking for the number of phone calls Daisy can make in 1 hour.

The "unknown" here is the number of phone calls Daisy can make in 1 hour.

Step 2: The values should be plug into the proportion.

`(6 phone calls)/(13 hours)` =
`(x phone calls)/(1 hour)`

Step 3: We can now solve the proportion.

`(6)/(13)` =
`(x)/(1)` ⇒x = 0.46 calls per hour (almost 1 call per hour)
