Question

A printer is printing photos. For every 6 photos, the printer takes 2 minutes.

Complete the table below showing the number of photos and the time it takes to print them.

Answer 1

Next to 6 is 9, next to 15 is 27, and next to 3 is 5

Explanation:

If you imagine 6 photos for every 2 minutes as a fraction and simplify it, the answer to this would be 3 photos for every 1 minute (basically 3/1). By using this unit fraction, you'll see that you're supposed multiply the amount of minutes by 3, or you can divide the # of photos by 3.

For 3 mins, you multiply that by 3 to get 9 photos.

For 9 mins, you multiply that by 3 to get 27 photos

For 15 photos, you divide that by 3 to get 5 photos.
