Question

If it took 3 hours to clean 6 houses, how many houses could be cleaned in 12 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Explanation:

If it took 3 hours to clean 6 houses than you can figure that is 2 houses per hours. so if there are 12 hours and 2 houses an hour, you multiply 12x2 and get 24. Another way to do it is to use proportions (aka two fractions that equal eachother):

  3 hours                12 hours

----------------    =    ---------------

 6 houses          number of houses

To calculate this, we can think about how we go from 3 to 12. Well, 3x4 is 12, so we got to 12 by doing multiplying by 4. So we can multiply 6 by 4 and you get 24.

Hope it helps! have a great day :)
