Question

The number of egg cartons that can be packed varies directly with time, in minutes. If 144 cartons of eggs can

be packed in 12 minutes, how many cartons can be filled in two minutes?

Direct Variation

Answer 1

24 cartons

Explanation

so first you need to divide 144 by 12 to find out how many egg cartons he packs per 1 minute.

144/12=12

so 12 per minute and since we are trying to find out how many cartons in two minutes we multiply 12 by 2

12*2=24
