Problema Solution
Patrick jumped 60 times in 2 hours. How many times did he jump in 10 minutes?
Answer provided by our tutors
Patrick's rate is:
V = 60/2 jumps/hour
V = 30 jumps/hour
t = 10 min
t = 10/60 hr
t = 1/6 hr
d = the number of jumps in t = 1/6 hr = 10 min
V = d/t
If we solve for 'd':
d = V*t
Plug in the values:
d = 30*(1/6)
d = 5 jumps
Patrick jumped 5 times in 10 minutes.
