Jared can work 54 math problems in one hour, how many problems can he work in ten minutes
54/60 = x/10
Cross multiply and solve for x.
To find out how many math problems Jared can work in ten minutes, we need to determine how many math problems he can work in one minute and then multiply it by ten.
Jared can work 54 math problems in one hour, which consists of 60 minutes. So, let's calculate his rate per minute:
Rate per minute = Number of problems in one hour / Number of minutes in one hour
Rate per minute = 54 problems / 60 minutes
Simplifying this:
Rate per minute = 0.9 problems per minute
Now, we can calculate the number of math problems Jared can work in ten minutes:
Number of problems in ten minutes = Rate per minute × Number of minutes
Number of problems in ten minutes = 0.9 problems per minute × 10 minutes
Simplifying this:
Number of problems in ten minutes = 9 problems
Therefore, Jared can work 9 math problems in ten minutes.
