Question

The doble number line shows that jonah needs 28 seconds to fold 2 shirts. Based on the double number line, how long does jonah need to fold 5 shirts?

Answer 1

We are given the double number line shows that Jonah needs 28 seconds to fold 2 shirts.

Let us find the number of seconds to fold 1 shirt.

In order to find the number of seconds to fold 1 shirt, we need to divide 28 by 2.

On dividing 28 by 2, we get

28/2 = 14 seconds.

We need to find the number of seconds to fold 5 shirt.

Each 2 shirts needs 28 seconds.

Therefore, 4 shirts would need = 28 + 28 = 56 seconds.

And 5 shirts would need = 28 + 28 + 14 = 56 + 14 = 70 seconds.

Therefore, Jonah needs 70 seconds to fold 5 shirts.
