Question

Aiden works at a garden center where he pots plants. It takes him 2 1/2 hours to pot 15 plants. How many plants can Aiden pot in 1 hour? (I need help please. This is for 15 points. Thanks)

Answer 1

Answer:

$6\ plants$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

$2\frac{1}{2}\ hours=\frac{5}{2}\ hours$

Using proportion

$\frac{15}{(5/2)}\frac{plants}{hours} =\frac{x}{1}\frac{plants}{hour}\\ \\x=15*2/5\\ \\x=6\ plants$
