Question

Class Work...Exit Ticket... 11.25.2020 Malik picked forty-five oranges in five minutes. At this rate, how many oranges will she pick per minute. Classwork/Participation. 5 points

Answer 1

Malike picked 45 oranges in 5 minutes

Work = Rate x time

If she can pick 45 oranges in 5 minutes

Mathematically

45 oranges ========= 5minutes

x oranges ========== 1 minute

Introduce cross multiplication

45 * 1 = 5 * x

45 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5

45/5 = 5x/5

x = 45 / 5

x = 9 oranges

Malik can pick 9 oranges in 1 minute

The answer is 9 oranges
