Tamaica can wrap 24 presents in 5 hours. how long will it take her to wrap 72 presents?

Answer 1

So for this you will be doing proportions, and in this case the equation will be $\frac{24}{5} =\frac{72}{x}$

Firstly, you will cross multiply. Your equation should look like this: $24x=360$

After that, just divide 24 on each side and your answer will be $x=15$

In short, she can wrap 72 presents in 15 hours.

Answer 2

it would take 15 hours to wrap 72 presents
