A squirrel burrowed 6 holes in 2 minutes. How many holes could the squirrel burrow in 7 minutes?

2 answers:

7 0

7 minutes= 2 minutes x 3.5

The squirrel burrowed 6 holes in 2 minutes.
To find how many holes the squirrel burrows in 7 minutes we multiply 6 x 3.5= 21.

Alternate method:

If the squirrel burrows 6 holes in 2 minutes that means he has burrowed 3 holes in 1 minute.
Multiply the number of holes burrowed in 1 minute by 7 to get 21.

SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER AND I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST :))A company makes poppy lapel pins. Each of them costs £1.10 to make. In Octob

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: The company will make 720 dollars (I dont know the percentage out of that though).

Step-by-step explanation: 1.10 times 1000= 1100. 35 percent of that is 385 dollars worth to charity or 350 lapel pins. 1000 minus 350 equals 650. 650 times .6 equals 390. 390 times 3 dollars= 1170 dollars. 650 times .4 = 260. 260 divided by 2 = 130, 130 times 5 dollars equals 650 dollars. 650 plus 1170= 1820. 1820-1100= 720.
