Answer:

\boxed {\tt 5 \ oranges}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion.

\frac{oranges}{minutes} =\frac{oranges}{minutes}

He can peel 125 oranges in 5 hours. First, let's find the minutes in 5 hours.

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so multiply 60 and 5 (60*5=300). There are 300 minutes in 5 hours.

\frac{125 \ oranges}{300 \ minutes}=\frac{oranges}{minutes}

We don't know how many oranges he can peel in 12 minutes. So we say he can peel x oranges in 12 minutes.

\frac{125 \ oranges}{300 \ minutes}=\frac{x \ oranges}{12 \ minutes}

\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=\frac{x \ }{12 }

Solve for x by isolating it. x is being divided by 12. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the proportion by 12.

12*\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=\frac{x \ }{12 \ }*12

12*\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=x

12*0.416666667=x

5=x

Rob can peel 5 oranges in 12 minutes.

Answer:

5 oranges in 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

125  \div 5 = 25

25  \div 60  = 0.41

0.41 \times 12 = 5

what i did here was I took the original amount (125), divided it by 5 which is 25 oranges per hour

1 hr = 60 mins

then I divided 25 oranges by 60 mins, then times it by 12 to get 5 around 5 oranges in 12 minutes.
