at the car wash fundraiser jenna's team washed 14 cars in 45 minutes. if they keep up at that rate, how many cars can the team wash in 2.5 hours? how did you get the answer

Respuesta :

You can write it as a proportion and then solve the proportion. 
(2.5 hours is 150 minutes)
14 cars          x cars
--------------- = -------------------
45 minutes    150 minutes

Then solve.

x=46.6666666
So that is about 47 cars
