Rob peeled 125 oranges in 5 hours. At that rate, how many oranges<br> would he peel in 12 minutes?

marin [14]

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 5 \ oranges}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion.

$\frac{oranges}{minutes} =\frac{oranges}{minutes}$

He can peel 125 oranges in 5 hours. First, let's find the minutes in 5 hours.

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so multiply 60 and 5 (60*5=300). There are 300 minutes in 5 hours.

$\frac{125 \ oranges}{300 \ minutes}=\frac{oranges}{minutes}$

We don't know how many oranges he can peel in 12 minutes. So we say he can peel x oranges in 12 minutes.

$\frac{125 \ oranges}{300 \ minutes}=\frac{x \ oranges}{12 \ minutes}$

$\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=\frac{x \ }{12 }$

Solve for x by isolating it. x is being divided by 12. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the proportion by 12.

$12*\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=\frac{x \ }{12 \ }*12$

$12*\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=x$

$12*0.416666667=x$

$5=x$

Rob can peel 5 oranges in 12 minutes.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

71°

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine of an angle is equal to the sine of its complement:

cos(19°) = sin(90° -19°) = sin(71°)

Comparing to the given expression, we see that x = 71°.
