Question

Linda washes 26 bowls per 4 minutes.

Answer 1

To find the rate at which Linda washes bowls, we can start by calculating how many bowls she washes in one minute.

If Linda washes 26 bowls in 4 minutes, we can find the number of bowls per minute by dividing the total number of bowls by the total time in minutes:

\[
\text{Bowls per minute} = \frac{26 \text{ bowls}}{4 \text{ minutes}} = 6.5 \text{ bowls per minute}
\]

So, Linda washes 6.5 bowls per minute.

If you need to know how many bowls she washes in a different amount of time, you can use this rate to calculate that. For example, in 10 minutes, she would wash:

\[
\text{Bowls in 10 minutes} = 6.5 \text{ bowls/minute} \times 10 \text{ minutes} = 65 \text{ bowls}
\]
