tracy rakes leaves to help her parents .she can rake 4 bags of leaves in 40 minutes .if she continues to rake leaves at this rate,how many bags can she rake in 2 hours
The question can be answered using ratio and proportion. In 40 minutes, Tracy can rake 4 bags of leaves. In 2 hours (which is equivalent to 120 minutes), how many bag will it be?
Making the equation. 4 : 40 = BAGS : 120 4 x 120 = 40 x BAGS 480 = 40 (BAGS) // Divide both sides by 40 BAGS = 12.
