Answer 1

Answer:

7.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Myra is cooking meat the double number line shows that he needs 12 hours too cook 5 kilograms of meat

12 hours to cook 5 kilograms of meet

we need to find the number of hours needs to cook 3 kilograms

Let x be the number of hours to cook 3 kilograms

Make a proportion

$\frac{hours}{kg} =\frac{hours}{kg}$

$\frac{12}{5} =\frac{x}{3}$

solve for x

cross multiply it

$3 \cdot 12=5 \cdot x$

$36=5x$

Divide both sides by 5

so x= 7.2 hours
