Question

Jason is removing weeds from his garden the estimate said there is 250 weeds in his garden at the moment. he can remove weeds at the rate of 5 per minute at this rate how many minutes will it take Jason to only have 30 weeds remaninign in his garden

Answer 1

To find out how many weeds Jason needs to remove, we can subtract the number of weeds he wants to have remaining from the total number of weeds:

Total weeds = 250
Weeds remaining = 30
Weeds to remove = 250 - 30 = 220

Next, we need to determine how long it will take Jason to remove 220 weeds at a rate of 5 weeds per minute:

Time (in minutes) = Weeds to remove / Rate of removal
Time = 220 weeds / 5 weeds per minute = 44 minutes

So, it will take Jason 44 minutes to reduce the number of weeds in his garden to 30.
