Question

if it takes one person 40 mins to pick 3 quarts of berries at that rate how many minutes will it take 4 people to pick 15 quarts???

Answer 1

Please help

Answer 2

person takes 3/40 quart per minute ,4 people take 12/40 quart per min ,therefore to pick 15 quart they need 50 minutes

Answer 3

the rate it takes for one person is 3/40 quarts per min
"at that rate implies proportionality"
so 4 people will be 4 times faster
ie.\[4(3/40)=3/10\]
\[3/10=15/x\]
cross multiply
\[3x=15*10\]
x=50

Answer 4

Thank you!!!!
