Question

20baskets into 4minutes

Answer 1

Put this into ratio form:

20 baskets/ 4 minutes.

This means for every 4 minutes, you can make 20 baskets.

Now solve for 1 minute...how many baskets can you make in one minute.

You can solve this in many ways:

1. Cross Multiply:

20/4 = x/1...20×1= 20 ÷ 4= 5 baskets per minute

2. Simplify- (simpler way to solve)

20 baskets ÷ 4 minutes= 5 baskets in 1 minute 

3. Critical Thinking:

how many times can 4 go into 20? 5 times. So there are:
 
5 baskets per minute
