Question

Last night, he washed 4 plates in 2 minutes. Tonight, his grandparents are coming to dinner, and Rick will wash 6 plates.

If he washes plates at the same rate, how many minutes will it take Rick to wash the plates tonight?

Answer 1

3 minutes

Explanation:

4 plates in 2 minutes

So, 1 plate in 1/2 minute

6 plates in 1/2 * 6 = 3 minutes

Answer 2

id say about 3 minutes.

Explanation:

if he washed 4 plates in 2 mins u would divide 4 by 2 and you'd get 2..aka half of a minute which is 30 seconds . so 30×6 is 180 which is 3 minutes
