Question

Jason is removing weeds from his garden. He estimates that there are 150 weeds in his garden at the moment, and he can remove weeds at a rate of 3 per minute. At this rate how many minutes (m) will it take Jason to only have 30 weeds remaining in the garden?

Answer 1

40 minutes! 150-30 = 120. Then 120/3 = 40

Answer 2

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Take the total away from the amount he wants left

150 - 30 = 120

→ Divide this by his rate

120 ÷ 3 = 40 minutes
