Problema Solution
if you can file 90 documents in an hour. how many can you file in 2 1/2 hours?
Answer provided by our tutors
v = 90 documents per hour is the rate
t = 2 1/2 hr = 2.5 hr is the time
d = the number of documents
Since the rate equals the number of documents divided by the time follows the number of documents equals the rate multiplied by the time:
v = d/t multiply both sides by t
d = vt
Plug the values for v and t into the equation above:
d = 90*2.5
d = 225 documents
In 2 1/2 hours you can file 225 documents.
