Answer:
Yards to Hours
Yards:Hour
0.75:1
Reasoning
For every 8 hours Jackson mows 6 yards, which is a rate of 0.75 yards per hour which is the proportion 0.75:1
Explanation:
- Break it down
- Write a formula
To make it easier for me to see, I'm going to rewrite it.
Jesse can mow 3 yards in 8 hours. Jackson can mow twice as many per hour.
Breaking it down:
Jesse can mow 3 yards in 8 hours. Jackson mows twice as many yards per hour.
This means that in the same time it takes Jesse to mow 3 yards Jackson mows 6 yards. Defined by the equation of 2 x (Jesses Yards/Hours)
Jesse is at a rate of 3:8 Which 3/8 is 0.375
Jackson is at a rate of 6:8 which 6/8 is 0.75
The answer wishes to know per hour and so we can deduce Jesse mows 0.375ths of a yard while Jackson mows 0.75th of a yard per hour. Because we're not comparing the two the answer will just be Jacksons rate.
Hope this helps,
