Question

Troy and Jared are eating carrots if they each can eat two carrots in 3 minutes how long will it take the two of them to eat 18 carrots show your work

Answer 1

each can eat 2 carrots in 3 minutes

2 people, so 2*2=4 so 4 carrots can be eaten in 3 minutes

to eat 18 carrots, hmm

ratio and proprtion, time/carrots=3min/4carrots

3/4=?/18

multiply both sides by 18

54/5=?

13.5=?

it will take them 13.5 mins

Answer 2

2 divided by 18 will equal 9
so just multiply that by the minutes (3)
9×3=27 minutes
