Question

 Seth prepared 63 kilograms of dough after working 9 hours. How many hours did Seth work if he prepared 77 kilograms of dough? *

Your answer

Answer 1

You can use a proportion to determine how many hours Seth worked.

If Seth takes 9 hours to make 63 kg of dough, then a fraction can be made: 63/9

How long did Seth take if he made 77 kg of dough? Make another fraction but this time you don't know the hours, so replace that with x : x/77

Now set the two fractions equal to each other : 63/9 = x/77

Solve for x.

Check your answer with mine:

x= 11 hours
