Kerion had a beaded necklace business. She can make 12 necklaces in 2 hours. How long will it take her to make 9 necklaces?
Her rate is 12 n / 2 hr = 6 necklaces/hr
9 necklaces / 6 necklaces/hr = 9/6 = 1 1/2 hr
First you divide the number you need by the number you can produce which will yield: 9/12=0.75. Next you can multiply the production time (2) by 0.75 you have your answer. :)
Her rate is 12 n / 2 hr = 6 necklaces/hr
9 necklaces / 6 necklaces/hr = 9/6 = 1 1/2 hr
