during a reading test, enrique reads a passage with 640 words it takes him 4 minutes to read the passage
how long would it take enrique to read a passage that has 800 words if he reads at the same speed?
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion based on the relationship between the number of words in the passage and the time it takes Enrique to read it.
The ratio of words to time for the first passage is:
640 words / 4 minutes
We can use this ratio to find out how long it would take Enrique to read a passage with 800 words:
800 words / x minutes
Setting up the proportion:
640 words / 4 minutes = 800 words / x minutes
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
640 * x = 800 * 4
640x = 3200
Divide both sides by 640 to solve for x:
x = 3200 / 640
x = 5
Therefore, it would take Enrique 5 minutes to read a passage that has 800 words at the same speed.
anna is preparing the soil in her garden for planting tomatoes the directions say to use 4 pounds of fertilizer for 120 square feet of soil the area of annas garden is 180 square feet.
how much fertilizer is needed for a 180 squarefoot garden
To solve this problem, we can use a proportion to find out how much fertilizer is needed for a 180 square foot garden based on the amount needed for a 120 square foot garden.
The ratio of fertilizer to soil area for the first garden is:
4 pounds / 120 square feet
We can use this ratio to find how much fertilizer is needed for a 180 square foot garden:
x pounds / 180 square feet
Setting up the proportion:
4 pounds / 120 square feet = x pounds / 180 square feet
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
4 * 180 = 120 * x
720 = 120x
Divide both sides by 120 to solve for x:
x = 720 / 120
x = 6
Therefore, Anna would need 6 pounds of fertilizer for her 180 square foot garden.
