Question

Sharon mowed eight lawns in four hours at the rate how long would it take her to now ten lawns ?plz help(18points) it has to do with proportions Explain Answer

Answer 1

(8/4) = (10/x)
8x = 4 x 10
8x= 40
x = 40/8
x=5
It will take 5 hours.

Answer 2

4 and a half hours because 8 lawns took 4 hours, if you divide 4 by 8 then you get .5 so add up the two to get 4.5 hours.
