Remy can chop 5 carrots in 3 minutes. How long will it take him to chop 120 carrots?
First, you do 120 / 5 .
You would get an answer which is 24.
Then, you multiply that answer with three.
Finally that answer you multiplied is the answer to the question.

NOTE: The answer is the minute. It's how long.
To find out how long it will take Remy to chop 120 carrots, we can set up a proportion.
Let's say "x" represents the amount of time it will take Remy to chop 120 carrots.
Based on the given information, we know that Remy can chop 5 carrots in 3 minutes. This ratio can be written as: 5 carrots / 3 minutes.
To set up the proportion, we compare the ratios of carrots to minutes for chopping 5 carrots and 120 carrots:
5 carrots / 3 minutes = 120 carrots / x minutes
Now, we can cross-multiply to solve for "x":
5 * x = 3 * 120
Then, we simplify the equation:
5x = 360
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 360 / 5
Therefore, it will take Remy approximately 72 minutes to chop 120 carrots.
