Question

In one day, Peter cleaned 17.5 rooms in 8.75 hours while working for a house cleaning business. Approximately how many rooms did he clean per hour?
2 rooms
5 rooms
8 rooms
9 rooms

Answer 1

The answer is 2 rooms because you do 17.5 divided by 8.75 and you get 2

Answer 2

Answer:  First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of rooms = 17.5

Time taken to clean = 8.75 hours

We need to find the number of rooms he clean per hour.

So, the number of rooms per hour is given by

$\dfrac{17.5}{8.75}\\\\=2$

Hence, there are 2 rooms that he clean per hour.

Therefore, First option is correct.
