Stanley can build 12 leggo cars in 3 hours.
To see why, you can set up a proportion:
4 cars / 1 hour = x cars / 3 hours
Solving for x:
4/1 = x/3
4 * 3 = x
12 = x
A cantaloupe costs $0.45 per pound. If Jacinta pays $1.80, how many pounds did the cantaloupe weigh?

3 pounds
4 pounds
5 pounds
6 pounds
Jacinta paid $1.80, and since the cantaloupe cost $0.45 per pound, we can set up the equation:
$0.45/pound x = $1.80
Solving for x, we get:
x = $1.80 ÷ $0.45/pound
x = 4 pounds
Therefore, the cantaloupe weighed 4 pounds.
12/15=?/5
To solve for the missing value, cross-multiply:
12 × 5 = 15 × ?
60 = 15x
Divide both sides by 15:
x = 4
Therefore, 12/15 = 4/5.
