Josh completed 2 math problems in 2 minutes. Julia says he did 3/5 of a problem each munute. is she correct?
No.
2 problems in 2 minutes is the same as 1 problem in 1 minute.
2/2 = 1
To determine if Julia's statement is correct, we need to compare the number of problems Josh completed per minute based on the information given. We know that Josh completed 2 math problems in 2 minutes, so let's calculate his average rate of problem-solving per minute.
To do this, we divide the number of problems (2) by the number of minutes (2):
2 problems รท 2 minutes = 1 problem per minute
According to our calculation, Josh completes one math problem per minute, which means he didn't complete 3/5 of a problem each minute as Julia claimed.
Therefore, Julia's statement is incorrect.
