Question

Lois shot 54 baskets in 3 minutes. What is the rate per minute. How do I do this?

Answer 1

Hi there!

To find your answer, you'll need to use the cross product method :

3 minutes = 54 baskets

1 minute = X baskets

(54 × 1) ÷ 3 = X baskets

54 ÷ 3 = X baskets

18 = X

So your answer is: he shots 18 baskets per minute.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
