Question

It takes Mark 3 minutes to make 1 1/2 inches of a bracelet. If he works at the same speed, how many minutes will it take him to make a 12-inch bracelet

Answer 1

Answer:

  24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Working at the same speed, the ratio of time to length is the same:

  time/length = t/12 = 3/(1.5)

  t = 12(3/1.5) = 12(2) = 24

It will take Mark 24 minutes to make a 12-inch bracelet.
