Answer 1

The rate of Fred making the balloons is:

rate = 17 balloons/ 15 minutes

We use this rate to solve this problem.

a. when time = 30 minutes

balloons = rate * 30

ballons = (17 balloons/ 15 minutes) * 30 minutes

balloons = 34 balloons

b. when time = 60 minutes

balloons = rate * 60

ballons = (17 balloons/ 15 minutes) * 60 minutes

balloons = 68 balloons
