Question

6. Dele charged $30 for shovelling snow for 2 1/2 hours. At that rate how much can Dale expect to eam

by shoveling snow for 6 hours?
Solve this using Equivalent ratios. Unit ratios or by Chunkin

Answer 1

The charge for shovelling snow for 6 hour is 72 hours

Explanation:

Given as :

The charge for shovelling snow for 2
`(1)/(2)` hours is $30

Let The charge for shovelling snow for 6 hours = $ x

Now, Applying unitary method

∵ The charge for shovelling snow for 2
`(1)/(2)` hours = $30

or, The charge for shovelling snow for
`(5)/(2)` hour = $30

So, The charge for shovelling snow for 1 hour =
`(30×2)/(5)` hour

∴ The charge for shovelling snow for 6 hour =
`(30×2)/(5)` × 6 hours

I.e The charge for shovelling snow for 6 hour =
`(360)/(5)` hours

= 72 hours

Hence The charge for shovelling snow for 6 hour is 72 hours Answer
