Question

20 POINTS!! (please help quickk)

15 dance tickets were sold in one half hour. If this rate continues, how many hours would you expect it to take to sell 270 tickets?

Answer 1

First, you would divided 270 by 15

270 ÷ 15 = 18

Then, you would divide 18 by 2 because it only takes half an hour to sell 15.

18÷2 = 9

Therefore, it would take 9 hours!

Another Way!

First, multiply 15 by 2 because it only takes half an hour to sell 15.

15×2 = 30

Then, divide 270 by 30!

270÷30 = 9

Therefore, it would take 9 hours!
