2) If Macy makes 5/12 of a cake in 1/6 hour, keeping her pace, how many cake(s) She can make in 1 hour?2.5 cakes
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Suppose James says that the 6 lawns take 3/4 of an hour to be mowed. How many lawns can be mowed in 1 hour?
We can set a proportion
lawn hour
6------- 3/4
l-------- 1
[tex]\frac{6}{\frac{3}{4}}=6*\frac{4}{3}\Rightarrow 8[/tex]
8 lawns
2) If Macy makes 5/12 of a cake in 1/6 hour, keeping her pace, how many cake(s) She can make in 1 hour?
cake hour
5/12 ------------------- 1/6
c ------------------------1
[tex]\frac{\frac{5}{12}}{\frac{1}{6}}=\frac{5}{12}*6=\frac{30}{12}=2.5[/tex]
