Answer:

They can make 9000 crayons in 15 minutes.

Explanation:

Figure out the ratio:


(2400)/(4)

Simplify it to get the total number of crayons that they can make in one minute.

2400/4 = 600

They can make 600 crayons per minute.

Now, you should have a proportion.


(600)/(1)

Now, multiply the denominator and numerator by 15 because whatever you do to the denominator you have to do to the numerator.

You should now have your answer.


(9000)/(15)

Crayola can make 9000 crayons in 15 minutes.
