Mary is preparing for hercollege entrance exams. In a practicetest, she answered 12 problems in30 minutes. At this rate, how manyquestions can she expect to answer in150 minutes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

60 questions

Explanation:

If the rate of the number of problems per minute is constant, we can write the following equation:

[tex]\frac{12\text{ problems}}{30\text{ minutes}}=\frac{x}{150\text{ minutes}}[/tex]

Where x is the number of questions that she can answer in 150 minutes.

So, solving for x, we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{12}{30}=\frac{x}{150} \\ \frac{12}{30}\times150=\frac{x}{150}\times150 \\ 60=x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, Mary can expect to answer 60 questions in 150 minutes.
