Question

Yasmine needs to create invitation for the party. She has 3/4 of an hour to make the invitations. It takes her 1/12 of an hour to make each card. How many invitations can Yasmine create? Simplify if possible.

Answer 1

Answer:

one card takes 1/12 of an hour or 60/12=5 minutes.

she has 3/4 of an hour or 60×3/4=45 minutes

number of cards she can make =45/5=9

Answer 2

Answer:

Yasmine can create 9 invitations

Step-by-step explanation:

The question gives the total time that Yasmine has - 3/4 of an hour

The time Yasmine takes to make one card (invitation) is $\frac{1}{12}$ of an hour

The number of cards that she makes can be calculated from the formula;

Number of Cards = $\frac{Total Time Available For Yasmine}{Time Taken By Yasmine To Make One Card}$

Number of Cards = $\frac{3}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{12}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ × $\frac{12}{1}$ = $\frac{36}{4}$ = 9

Yasmine, therefore will be able to create 9 invitations in 3/4 of an hour
