Question

Miguel is a cartoonist. Miguel drew 2 cartoon cells in 3 hours. If he keeps drawing at the same rate, about how many cells will he draw in 9 hours?

Answer 1

Cross multiply and solve for x. 2/3 = x/9

Answer 2

In three hours Miguel drew 2 cartoon cells . And since he keeps drawing at the same rate, therefore,

in one hour Miguel drew (2/3) cartoon cells .

Hence in 9 hours, Miguel drew (2/3)* 9 = 18/3=6 cartoon cells .

So the answer of the given question is 6 cartoon cells .
