Answer 3

do you know that
n = rt
means
n is r * t ("r" times "t")
they tell you r. what is it ?

they say
How many boxes will the machine pack in 6 min? do you see "t" (time) is 6 ?

Answer 4

Answer 10

the idea is they give you a formula n = r t
which says, to find n, multiply r times t
if you can find the number for r and t, then you can do the problem.
in this problem, they tell you r is 11.5 and t is 6
so you do n= 6*11.5
or
n= 69
