To find out how many math problems Jared can work in 10 minutes, we can use a simple conversion factor.
We know that Jared can work 54 math problems in 1 hour.
First, we need to convert 10 minutes into hours.
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so we can set up a proportion:
10 minutes / 60 minutes = x hours / 1 hour
Simplifying the equation:
10/60 = x/1
x = (10/60) * 1
x = 10/60
x = 1/6
Therefore, 10 minutes is equivalent to 1/6 of an hour.
To find out how many math problems Jared can work in 10 minutes, we can use the conversion factor:
1 hour / 54 problems = 1/6 hour / x problems
Simplifying the equation:
1/54 = (1/6) / x
To solve for x (the number of problems Jared can work in 10 minutes), we can cross-multiply and solve for x.
1 * x = (1/54) * (1/6)
x = 1/324
Therefore, Jared can work approximately 0.0031 (1/324) math problems in 10 minutes.
Cross multiply and solve for x.
54/60 = x/10
