Looking at the table, we can see that the ratio of math problems to minutes is constant. This means that it is a proportional relationship.
To find the number of math problems Jesse can complete in 1 minute, we can set up the ratio:
48 math problems / 8 minutes = x math problems / 1 minute
Cross multiplying, we get:
8x = 48
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
x = 6
Therefore, Jesse can complete 6 math problems in 1 minute.
To find the number of math problems Jesse can complete in 15 minutes, we can set up the same ratio:
48 math problems / 8 minutes = y math problems / 15 minutes
Cross multiplying, we get:
8y = 48 * 15
8y = 720
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
y = 90
Therefore, Jesse can complete 90 math problems in 15 minutes.
