Question

The yard care staff can mow 45 lawns in a 10-hour work day. Each of the 9 workers can mow the same number of lawns per hour. How many lawn can one worker mow per hour

Answer 1

If it takes 10 hours for 9 workers to mow 45 lawns, dividing the 45 lawns by 9 we see that in 10 hours one worker can mow 5 lawns. This means that in one hour, a single worker can mow 5/10=1/2 of a lawn
