Natalie pit 135 berries in 15 minutes if she continues picking at that rate how many total minutes will it take her to pick 486 Barry’s I got 32.4 minutes is that right

No,

135 / 15 = 9 berries per minute

Take it from there.

To find the total minutes it will take Natalie to pick 486 berries, we can set up a proportion based on her picking rate:

135 berries / 15 minutes = 486 berries / x minutes

Cross-multiplying, we get:

(135 * x) = (15 * 486)

Dividing both sides by 135:

x = (15 * 486) / 135
x = 54.54 minutes

So, the correct answer is 54.54 minutes, not 32.4 minutes.

To solve this problem, we can use a proportion.

We are given that Natalie picks 135 berries in 15 minutes. We can set up the following proportion:

135 berries / 15 minutes = 486 berries / x minutes

To find the value of x (the number of minutes it will take Natalie to pick 486 berries), we can cross-multiply and solve for x:

135 * x = 15 * 486

Divide both sides of the equation by 135 to isolate x:

x = (15 * 486) / 135

Calculating this expression gives us:

x = 54.4 minutes

Therefore, the correct answer is approximately 54.4 minutes, rather than 32.4 minutes.
