It takes amy 8 minutes to mow 1/6 of her backyard. At that rate how many more minutes will it take her to finish mowing her backyard

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes her 8 minutes to mow 1/6 of it, we can find the total amount of time it  will take by multiplying 8 by 6, since 1/6 times 6 is 1 (1 represents the whole lawn mowed)

8(6) = 48

The question asks for how many more minutes it will take, so subtract 48 by 8.

48 - 8 = 40

= 40 minutes

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

8 minutes          x minutes

=

1/6 yard                 1 yard

Using cross products

8 * 1 = 1/6 x

Multiply each side by 6

8*6 = 1/6 * x * 6

48 = x

48 minutes total

She has already done 8 minutes

48-8 = 40 minutes

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

answer: it is d
