Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Caroline to sketch 9 cartoon strips, we first need to determine her sketching rate.

Caroline can sketch 3 cartoon strips in 5 hours. Thus, her rate is:

\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Number of strips}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{3 \text{ strips}}{5 \text{ hours}} = 0.6 \text{ strips per hour}
\]

Now, to find out how long it will take her to sketch 9 strips, we can use the rate:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Number of strips}}{\text{Rate}} = \frac{9 \text{ strips}}{0.6 \text{ strips per hour}} = 15 \text{ hours}
\]

So, it will take her **15 hours** to sketch 9 strips.
