Question

A particular computer takes 11 minutes to download a 33​-minute TV show. How long will it take the computer to download a 2.5​-hour ​movie?

Answer 1

First off.. we need to get the units the same.  All in hours,

or all in minutes.  36 minutes = 36/60 hours = 3/5 hours = 0.6 hours.

12 minutes = 12/60 hours = 1/5 hours = 0.2 hours

Set up a proportion:

0.2 is to 0.6 as x is to 22.5

x/22.5 = 0.2/0.6

x = 0.2(22.5)/0.6

x = 7.5 hours

thanx
