Answer 1

Answer:  The required number of plants Nestor can [lot in 1 hour is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Nestor works at a garden where he pots plants. It takes him $2\dfrac{1}{2}~\textup{hour}$ to pot 15 plants.

We are to find the number of plants he can plot in 1 hour.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.

We have

Number of plants Nestor can plot in $2\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}$ hour = 15.

So, the number of plants he can plot in 1 hour will be

$\dfrac{15}{\frac{5}{2}}=15\times\dfrac{2}{5}=6.$

Thus, the required number of plants Nestor can [lot in 1 hour is 6.

Answer 2

15 divided by 2 1/2=6
Nestor can pot 6 plants in an hour. (I'm guessing that it said 2 1/2 hours)
