The staff at Larry's Lawns spends their workday mowing lawns, raking, and bagging leaves. They work an average of nine hours per day. The mowing and raking typically takes six hours and an average of thirty-six bags of leaves are filled. Assuming the bags are filled at a constant rate, what is the average time it takes to fill one bag of leaves?

Respuesta :

For this case what we can do is the following rule of three:
 6 hours ---> 36 bags.
 x ------------> 1 bag
 Clearing the value of x we have:
 x = (1/36) * (6)
 x = 6/36
 x = 1/6 hours
 Answer:
 Assuming the bags are filled at a constant rate, the average time it takes to fill one bag of leaves is:
 x = 1/6 hours
