Question

Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 333 blankets to donate to a homeless shelter. Darcie crochets at a rate of \dfrac{1}{15} 15 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 15, end fraction of a blanket per day. She has 606060 days until when she wants to donate the blankets, but she also wants to skip crocheting some days so she can volunteer in other ways.

Answer 1

she can skip 15 days and she will take 45 days for this work

Explanation:

total blankets to crochet =3

speed of work per day = 1/15 blanket per day

total time in days she have = 60 days

No of days she had=60

number of days required to complete the work = ?

so 1/15 blanket she made = 1 day

1 blanket she made = 1 x 1/15

3 blanket she made =1 x 1/15 x 3 = 15 x 3 = 45 days

So she will do it 45 days.

days can be skipped = 60-45=15 days
