Hello! :)
Use a proportion to find how many seconds are needed to fold 5 shirts.
We are given that he takes 28 seconds to fold 2 shirts:
28 sec : 2 shirts
We are not given the amount of time needed for 5 shirts, which we need to solve:
x seconds : 5 shirts
Express in a fraction:
Cross multiply and simplify:
Therefore, he needs 70 seconds to fold 5 shirts.
