Alexis washes 10 1/2 windows in 3/4 hour. At this rate, how many windows can she wash in one hour?
Answer:
Alexis will wash 14 windows in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question.
Number of windows washed = \(10\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\)
Time taken to wash the windows = \(\displaystyle\frac{3}{4} \text{ hours}\)
We have to find:
Number of windows washed in 1 hour=
Formula:
\(\text{Windows washed in 1 hour} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Total windows washed}}{\text{Time taken to wash windows}}=\frac{10\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}}\\\\=\frac{21\times 4}{3\times 2} = 14\)
Thus, Alexis will wash 14 windows in 1 hour.
