Brigid is picking strawberries at the Pick-Your-Own Farm. Her goal is to pick 5 bushels of strawberries. She has already picked
1 1 2 bushels, and she picks at a rate of 5 8 bushel per hour. The scenario is represented as 5 8 h + 1 1 2 = 5, where h is the number of hours she picks. How many more hours will it take Brigid to fill 5 bushels of strawberries?
This question does not make much sense. Brigid has already picked 112 bushels, and she picks at a rate of 58 bushels per hour, the scenario question does not make any sense. 58h + 112 = 5...? What does this mean? But whatever the left side of the equation is, first subtract 112 from both sides and divide by 58, then you will get the value of "h."
