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.
