The number of small lawns Isabella can rake depends on the amount of time she spends raking. Isabella can rake 3 lawns in 3.75 h
. How many lawns can she rake in 5 h? The amount of money Jose spends on movie tickets varies directly with the number of tickets he purchases. if 3 movie tickets cost $20.25, how many movie tickets can be purchased for $47.25?
Please help, I'm not good at all with math word problems.
1) If we divide 3.75/3=1.25 which is the amount of time she takes per yard so if we add another yard to what she has already done we find she only could do one more yard in 5 hours 3.75+1.25=5.00 So she can only rake 4 yards in 5 hours
2) If we divide 20.25/3=6.75 we find that each ticket is $6.75 so we must divide that by 47.25 to get the amount of tickets 47.25/6.75=7
