Question

Alejandra can husk 8 ears of corn in 24 minutes. At this rate, how many ears of corn can she husk in 33 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

I'm afraid you're wrong. We may divide 24 by 8 to find out how long does it take for Alejandra to husk 1 ear of corn and then just divide 33 by the result:

24 ÷ 8 = 3

So Alejandra husks 1 ear of corn in 3 minutes.

33 ÷ 3 = 11

Answer: In 33 minutes Alejandra can husk 11 ears of corn.
