Question

Heather is a cashier and she can ring up 36 customers in 24 minutes. At this rate how many minutes does it take to ring up 6 costumers ?

Answer 1

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a table.

So we know that for 24 minutes, Heather can ring up 36 customers. Now, to get 6 customers, you need to divide 36 by 6.

So

36 = 24

/ 6    /6

_______

6 = 4

Answer 2

Answer:

4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

36 and 24 are both factors of 6.

So since you have 6 costumers you divide 36 by 6 to get the 6 costumers.

Then you do the same thing with 24. 24 divided by 6 = 4. (Your answer.)
