Kevin takes 8 hours to mow 6 lawns. At this rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 32 hours
32 hr * 6 lawns/8hr = 24 lawns
Kevin mowed 6 lawns in 8 hours. What was his rate of mowing in hours per lawn?
To find out how many lawns could be mowed in 32 hours at the same rate, we can set up a proportion.
Kevin takes 8 hours to mow 6 lawns. This means that he mows 6 lawns in 8 hours, or 6/8 lawns per hour.
To find out how many lawns Kevin can mow in 32 hours, we can set up the proportion:
(6 lawns / 8 hours) = (x lawns / 32 hours)
Solving this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
8x = 6 * 32
8x = 192
Dividing both sides of the equation by 8, we find:
x = 192 / 8
x = 24
Therefore, at the same rate, Kevin could mow 24 lawns in 32 hours.
