B.20
C.16
D.100

Answer 1

The correct answer for the question above is
C.)16

Answer 2

The answer is C-16

This is because if your set up a proportion

——=—— you put 6 over 15 like a fraction form and then = x over 40 x because you don’t know how many he can make in 40 mins and the 40 is right next to the 6 over 15 because we are trying to find how many paper boats we can make not the time therefore the answer is 16
