Question

Sandy can fold 6 towels in 3 minutes. If she continues at this rate, how many minutes will it take her to fold 36 towels?

Answer 1

Answer:

In eighteen minutes she will have folded all 36

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 18 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, set up a ratio.

# of towels over time taken:

$\frac{6}{3} = \frac{36}{x}$

Cross multiply:

6x = 108

Divide both sides by 6:

6x/6 = 108/6

x = 18 minutes.
