Nestor works at a garden center where he plants flowers. It takes him 2.5 hours to plant 15 flowers.

If Nestor continues working at the same rate, how many flowers will he be able to plant in 3.5 hours?

The answer is 30 flowers because if you add 15+15 you get 30 and to get 3.5 you add 2.5 + 1.0 = 3.5, hope this helps! im sorry if it doesn't
