Joe tapped his maple tree to get syrup. The tree filled 3/4 of a cup in 1/2 hour.

At what rate does syrup flow from the tree?

A1/2 cup per hour
B2/3 cup per hour
C1 1/2 cup per hour
D2 1/4 cup per hour

Verified Answer :

Since it filled 3/4 the cup in HALF an hour, you would multiply the top number, 3*2=6, so you have 6/4th, which also equals 1 2/4 OR 1 1/2, so the answer would be;

C. 1 1/2 cup per hour.

Hope this helps you!

Answer:

\(1\frac{1}{2}\) cups per hour, Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe tapped his maple tree to get syrup.

∵ The maple tree filled \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup in  \(\frac{1}{2}\) hours

∴ in one hour the tree filled the cup =  \(\frac{3}{4}\) ÷  \(\frac{1}{2}\)

=  \(\frac{3}{4}\)  ×  \(\frac{2}{1}\)

=  \(\frac{6}{4}\)

=  \(\frac{3}{2}\)

=  \(1\frac{1}{2}\) cups

Option C. Syrup flow \(1\frac{1}{2}\) cups per hour.
