Question

Kisha can play 3 games of pool in 45 minutes. If Kisha plays 5 games, predict how much time Kisha plays.

Answer 1

To find out how much time Kisha plays when she plays 5 games of pool, we can set up a proportion:

3 games / 45 minutes = 5 games / x minutes

Cross multiplying, we get:

3x = 45 * 5
3x = 225
x = 225 / 3
x = 75

Therefore, Kisha will play for 75 minutes if she plays 5 games of pool.

Answer 2

alternatively
time = constant minutes/game * number of games
so
time = ( 45 min / 3 games ) * 5 games
= 15*5
= 75 min

Answer 3

That is correct! Thank you for the alternative method. Kisha will play for 75 minutes if she plays 5 games of pool.
