In a paint factory, an old conveyer line has filled 50 barrels of paint, and is filling more at a rate of 2 barrels per minute.
A worker just switched on a newer line that can fill 12 barrels per minute. In a little while, the two lines will have filled an equal number of barrels. How many barrels will each line have filled?
We can divide 18 pounds by 2/3 pounds to find how many servings of meals the dogs will have. We will use the keep change flip rule to solve this. 18 / 2/3 is then the same as 18 x 3/2 We then multiply across to get 54/2 This would be 27 meals that the food will last
