Question

Last night, Shirley worked on her accounting homework for one and one half hours. During that time, she completed 6 problems. What is the velocity in problems per hour?
a. 6 per hour
b. 4 per hour
c. 10 per hour
d. 0.67 per hour
e. 15 per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

option (b) is correct

Explanation:

time t = 1 and half hour = 1.5 hour

Number of problems, n = 6

So, the velocity in problems

v = n / t

v = 6 / 1.5

v = 4

So, the rate is 4 problems per hour.

Answer 2

Answer:

velocity in problems per hour = 4 per hour

so correct option is b. 4 per hour

Explanation:

given data

worked on  homework time = 1.5 hour

completed = 6 problems

to find out

What is the velocity in problems per hour

solution

we know that Shirley solve complete 6 accounting homework problem in 1.5 hour so her velocity  in problems per hour will be as

velocity in problems per hour =  $\frac{complete\ problem}{time\ taken}$   ..................1

put here value we will get

velocity in problems per hour =  $\frac{6}{1.5}$

velocity in problems per hour = 4 per hour

so correct option is b. 4 per hour
