You receive 9 text messages in 12 minutes. What is the rate of text messages per hour?
9 text messages in 12 min ⇒ how many text messages in 60 min
9×60÷12 = 45 text messages :))
Answer:
\(45\frac{messages}{hour}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To find the rate of text messages per hour, first divide the total messages by the total time in minutes
so
\(\frac{9}{12}=0.75\frac{messages}{minute}\)
Convert to messages per hour
Remember that \(1\ hour=60\ minutes\)
Multiply by \(60\)
\(0.75*60=45\frac{messages}{hour}\)
