Question

Question 6 Clare volunteers at a local library during the summer. Her work includes putting labels on 750 books. How many minutes will she need to finish labeling all books if she takes no breaks and labels 15 books a minute Question 7 Suppose Clare labels the books at a constant speed of x books per minute. Write an equation that represents the relationship between her labeling speed and the number of minutes it would take her to finish labeling.

Answer 1

Clare is going to need 50 minutes to label 750 books

1) Gathering the data

750 books

15 books per minute

2) Let's set a proportion for that, considering the fact that her speed is constant

15 books ----------------------1 minute

750 -------------------------------x

15x = 750

x= 50 books

3) Clare is going to need 50 minutes to label 750 books.
