Problema Solution
A gardener is transplanting flowers into a flowerbed. She has been working for an hour and has transplanted 14 flowers. She has 35 more flowers to transplant. If she works at the same rate, how many more hours will it take her?
Answer provided by our tutors
the rate of the gardener is:
v = 14 flowers per hour
t = the time needed to transplant another 35 flowers
t = 35/v
t = 35/14
t = 2.5 hr
it will take her another 2.5 hours to transplant the 35 flowers.
