Question

Jan pick 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in a half an hour. If she keeps picking strawberries at the same rate, how many gallons wish you had picked in two hours?

Answer 1

2 divided by 1/2
2 x 2/1 = 4
3/4 x 4/1 = 12/3
12/3 = 4
4 gallons, Hope this helps!

Answer 2

This can be simplified by converting 3/4 into a decimal, which is equal to .75. We also have half an hour, and since there are four halves in 2, the equation would be .75 x 4. Multiply those two numbers, and the product is the amount of gallons.
