(c) State the solution as a full sentence. will give brainlyliesst
She can find 6 items before the store closes.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Create a model or write an equation for the situation.
Let y represent the number of items we want to find
1/8× y = 3/4h
= y/8 = 3/4h
y = 8(3/4)h
(b) Find the solution. Explain what you did.
It is 3/4 h before closing time at the grocery store. It takes about 1/8 h for Jane to find 1 item on her shopping list.
Step 1
We convert hour to minutes
3/4h
1 hour = 60 minutes
Hence,
3/4 × 60 = 45 minutes
1/8 hour
1 hour = 60 minutes
= 1/8 × 60
= 7.5 minutes
We are told in the question that:
It takes about 1/8 h for Jane to find 1 item on her shopping
Hence:
7.5 minutes = 1 item
45 minutes = y items
Cross Multiply
7.5 × y items = 45 minutes × 1 item
y = 45 minutes /7.5
y = 6 items
(c) State the solution as a full sentence. will give brainlyliesst
She can find 6 items before the store closes.
