Question

if you took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? at what rate were lawns being mowed?

Answer 1

It takes 7 hours to mow 4 lawns
Therefore every hour, (4 ÷ 7) or 4/7 lawns are mowed. This gives the rate.

For 35 hours, 4/7 x 35 lawns are mowed.
=35 ÷ 7 = 5
= 4 × 5
= 20 lawns
