Question

Daisy made 6 phone calls in 13 hour. At that rate, how many phone calls can she make in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

At one hour she could make a call(1 call I mean)

Because 6 calls in 13 hours means that 5 calls 2 hours with a call 3 hours.

Answer 2

Answer:

She can make almost 1 phone call in an hour (particularly, 46 minutes of call per hour)

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by using ratios and proportions.

Step 1: Identify the "knowns" from the "unknown."

It is known that Daisy can make 6 phone calls in 13 hours. Now, the problem is asking for the number of phone calls Daisy can make in 1 hour.

The "unknown" here is the number of phone calls Daisy can make in 1 hour.

Step 2: The values should be plug into the proportion.

             $\frac{6 phone calls}{13 hours}$ = $\frac{x phone calls}{1 hour}$

Step 3: We can now solve the proportion.

$\frac{6}{13}$ = $\frac{x}{1}$ ⇒x = 0.46 calls per hour (almost 1 call per hour)
