The second competition is to see which team can collect three full buckets of seashells the fastest. It takes your team one minute to collect 0.5 buckets of shells. How long does it take your team to collect 3 full buckets of seashells

6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that your team takes one minute to collect 0.5 buckets, this can be expressed as;

1 minute = 0.5 buckets

To determine the time it will take to collect 3 full buckets of seashells, we will say;

x minute = 3 buckets

Divide both expressions;

1/x = 0.5/3

Cross multiply;

0.5x = 3 *1

0.5x  = 3

Divide both sides by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 3/0.5

x = 6

Hence it will take 6 minutes to collect 3 full buckets of seashells

tube or goog would be a great resource to with that question
