Question

jen pickec 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in a half an hour . If she keeps picking strawberries at the same rate ,how many gallons will she have picked in 2 hours?

Answer 1

Answer: 3 gallons of strawberry will collected by Jen in 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2}$hour= 30 minutes (1 hour = 60 minutes)

Then in 2 hours = 120 minutes

Gallons of strawberry collected by Jen in 30 minute =$\frac{3}{4}$ gallons

Gallons of strawberry collected by Jen in 1 minute=$\frac{3}{4\times 30}=\frac{1}{40} gallons$

Gallons of strawberry collected by Jen in 120 minutes = $\frac{1}{40}\times 120=3 gallons$

3 gallons of strawberry will collected by Jen in 2 hours.

Answer 2

Well following the directions you have provided me I would say that Jen will have 3 Gallons of strawberries. Work: So the fraction 3/4 can be converted into decimals which is .75 and since she got that many in half and hour ( 30 minutes) we can do two set of .75 for each hour, after we do the math we end up with 4 sets in total of .75 since she had 2 hours to work. Equation .75*4=3

I hope this helped you out!
