Jami can mow acre 1/6 in 8 minutes If her rate is constant, can Jami mow 1 1/2 acres in one hour? Explain your reasoning
Question
Answer:
Time taken by Jami to mow 1/6 acres is 8 minutes=8/60=2/15 hours.Rate at which Jami is mowing will be:
rate=(number of acres)/(time)=(1/6)/(2/15)
=1/6÷2/15
=1/6×15/2
=5/4 acres/hour
=1.25 acres/hour
From above calculations we conclude that Jami cannot mow 1.5 acres in 1 hour
