Theodore skated around the neighborhood 12 times in 45 minutes. If Theodore continues to skate at the same speed, how many times will he be able to go around his neighborhood in 2 hours and 15 minutes? (remember to convert hours to minutes)

2:15 = 135 minutes

x/135 = 12/45

Did you know?

Did you know that you can calculate the number of times Theodore will be able to go around his neighborhood in 2 hours and 15 minutes using a simple math equation? Since 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, and Theodore originally skated around his neighborhood 12 times in 45 minutes, we can figure out the number of times he can go around in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Converting 2 hours to minutes gives us 2 x 60 = 120 minutes. Adding this to the 15 minutes we already have gives us a total of 120 + 15 = 135 minutes. To find out how many times Theodore can go around in this time, we divide 135 minutes by the time it takes for 1 round, which is 45 minutes. Therefore, Theodore will be able to go around his neighborhood 3 times in 2 hours and 15 minutes.
