Caroline can sketch 8 cartoon strips in ten hours. How long will it take her to sketch 12 strips?
If Caroline can sketch 8 cartoon strips in 10 hours, to find out how long it takes her to sketch 1 cartoon strip, we divide the total time by the number of strips:
10 hours / 8 strips = 1.25 hours per strip
Now that we know it takes her 1.25 hours to sketch one strip, we can calculate how long it will take her to sketch 12 strips by multiplying the time per strip by the number of strips:
1.25 hours/strip * 12 strips = 15 hours
So, it will take Caroline 15 hours to sketch 12 cartoon strips.
