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?
486/135 = 3.62
15 minutes x 3.62 = 54.3 minutes
It will take Natalie 54.3 minutes to pick 486 berries.
I would form a simple proportion.
135 berries / 15 minutes = 486 berries / x minutes
135x = 15(486)
x = 15(486)/135 = 54
I don't understand why the bot missed this one, it is simple arithmetic
I think I found the bot's error
486/135 = 3.6 , not 3.62
