3. Tom always keeps his 4 gardens clean. He takes 20 minutes to clean a single garden. How much time will it take to clean all four gardens? what is the constant and equation
To find out how much time it will take to clean all four gardens, we need to multiply the time it takes to clean a single garden (20 minutes) by the number of gardens (4).
The equation would be:
Total time to clean 4 gardens = Time to clean a single garden x Number of gardens
Let's substitute in the values:
Total time to clean 4 gardens = 20 minutes/garden x 4 gardens
Total time to clean 4 gardens = 80 minutes
So, it will take 80 minutes to clean all four gardens.
In this case, the constant would be the time it takes to clean a single garden (20 minutes), and the equation is: Total time to clean 4 gardens = 20 minutes/garden x 4 gardens.
make an equation using variables
Let's use variables to represent the unknowns in the problem:
Let "T" represent the total time to clean all four gardens.
Let "t" represent the time it takes to clean a single garden.
The equation would be:
T = t x 4
This equation states that the total time to clean all four gardens is equal to the time it takes to clean a single garden multiplied by the number of gardens (in this case, 4).
3. Tom always keeps his 4 gardens clean. He takes 20 minutes to clean a single garden. How much time will it take to clean all four gardens?
Let's use the variable "T" to represent the total time it will take to clean all four gardens.
We know that Tom takes 20 minutes to clean a single garden.
To find out how much time it will take to clean all four gardens, we can multiply the time it takes to clean a single garden by the number of gardens.
The equation would be:
T = 20 minutes/garden x 4 gardens
Simplifying that equation:
T = 80 minutes
Therefore, it will take 80 minutes to clean all four gardens.
5. Brown has his own bakery. He baked 5 cakes per day. Due to the occasion of Christmas, he started to bake 12 cakes per day. In the whole Christmas week how many cakes will he bake?
To calculate the number of cakes Brown will bake in the whole Christmas week, we need to know the number of days in the Christmas week.
Let's assume the Christmas week consists of 7 days.
Initially, Brown baked 5 cakes per day for the rest of the year. So for 7 days, he would have baked 7 * 5 = 35 cakes.
On Christmas, he started baking 12 cakes per day. So for the remaining days of the week (which is 7 - 1 = 6 days), he would have baked 6 * 12 = 72 cakes.
Adding these two amounts together, Brown would bake a total of 35 + 72 = 107 cakes in the whole Christmas week.
