For a world record, George Adrian picked 15,832 pounds of apples in 8 hours. Assuming he maintained a constant rate of picking, how many pounds of apples did he pick in 3 hours?

Respuesta :

Find the number of apples picked in 1 hour by dividing total apples by total hours:

15,832 / 8 = 1,979 apples per hour.

Multiply apples per hour by hours:

1,979 x 3 = 5,937

He picked 5,937 apples in 3 hours.
