Question

in 35 minutes, 49 customers entered the store. At this rate, how many customers will enter the store in 2 hours?

Answer 1

\[\frac{49\times 120}{35}\] and a calculator

Answer 2

since it is a constant rate you can use proportions

Answer 3

how would i write it as a proportion?

Answer 4

\[\frac{ 35}{ 49 }=\frac{ 120 }{ x }\]
x=number of people that enter store
cross multiply and solve (might need a calculator)

Answer 5

yes, that will work, but if i want to solve a proportion i would put the variable i am looking for up top
in other words
\[\frac{49}{35}=\frac{x}{120}\]

Answer 6

\[\frac{people}{minutes}=\frac{people}{minutes}\]

Answer 7

true
