A water pump working at a constant rate can fill 10 water balloons in three minutes. How many water balloons can be filled in an hour?

Question

i need help finding how many balloons it would be . every time i try to solv eit i never get close to the answer . please help me.

Answer 1

Okay so let us look at it like this:

 

60 Minutes = One Hour

 

03 Minutes= 10 Water Balloons 

 

So how many sets of 03 Minutes can you fit into 60 Minutes? 

     Easiest way to do this would be by taking 60/03=20 sets of 03 Minutes

 

If one set of 03 Minutes gives you 10 Water Balloons, take 10 (Water Balloons) and multiply it by 20 (Sets) 

 

So 10*20= 200! 

If the pump were to stay at a constant rate, you would have 200 Water Balloons filled in one hour. 

Hope this helped! :)
