Question

Joseph has a job walking dogs and gets paid per dog. He needs to walk 45 dogs to earn enough money to pay for his soccer team fees. If each walk takes the same amount of time, and he can walk 3 dogs in 1 hour and 30 minutes, how long will it take him to walk 45 dog?

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that it will take him 22.5 hours to walk the 45 dogs.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

He walks 3 dogs in 1 hour and 30 minutes, we means that the time in hours it takes for him to walk a dog is:

t = 1.5/3 = 0.5 hours.

Hence the time it will take him to walk 45 dogs is given by:

45 x 0.5 = 22.5 hours.
