The question can be answered using ratio and proportion.
In 40 minutes, Tracy can rake 4 bags of leaves. In 2 hours (which is equivalent to 120 minutes), how many bag will it be?
Making the equation.
4 : 40 = BAGS : 120
4 x 120 = 40 x BAGS
480 = 40 (BAGS) // Divide both sides by 40
BAGS = 12.
So there will be 12 bags of leaves.
Add the 3 fractions together.
