Natalie picked 135 berries in 15 minutes. If she continues picking at that rate, how many total minutes will it take her to pick 486 berries? HELP! PLZ HELP!

Use a simple proportion equation.

135 berries : 15 minutes = 486 berries : x minutes

135/15 = 486/x
135x = 15*486
x = 7290/135 = 54

It will take 54 minutes

thank you

thanks

To find the total minutes Natalie will take to pick 486 berries, we need to set up a proportion using the given information.

We know that Natalie picked 135 berries in 15 minutes. We can set up the proportion as follows:
135 berries / 15 minutes = 486 berries / x minutes

To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
135 * x = 15 * 486

Now, let's solve for x:
135x = 7,290

Dividing both sides of the equation by 135:
x = 7,290 / 135

x is approximately 54, so it will take Natalie approximately 54 minutes to pick 486 berries at the same rate.

54 bc

135/15=9
486/9=54=
54
