Example Question #142 : Numbers And Operations
On Saturday Jake raked leaves for minutes and on Sunday he raked leaves for hours. In hours, how much total time did he spend raking on both Saturday and Sunday?
The first thing we need to do is put our minutes into hours because our final answer is asking for hours. We know that . We can set up a proportion and cross multiply to solve.
Then we can divide to isolate the .
Now we can add our hours together to find the total.
Example Question #21 : How To Find A Proportion
Matt studied for minutes everyday from Monday-Friday. How many total hours did he spend studying?
The first thing we need to do is put our minutes into hours because our final answer is asking for hours. We know that . We can set up a proportion and cross multiply to solve.
Then we can divide to isolate the .
Now we need to multiply because Matt studied for hours each day.
