To find out how many cubic yards of pebbles Mr. Lopez can spread in one hour, we need to know the rate at which he spreads the pebbles.
If Mr. Lopez spreads 2 cubic yards of pebbles in 3/4 hour, we can set up a proportion to find the rate:
2 cubic yards / (3/4 hour) = x cubic yards / (1 hour)
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by (1 hour) and divide by (3/4 hour):
x = (2 cubic yards * 1 hour) / (3/4 hour)
= 8/3 cubic yards
Therefore, Mr. Lopez can spread 8/3 or 2 and 2/3 cubic yards of pebbles in one hour.
Mr.lopez is spreading pebbles around a water garden.he spreads 2 cubic yards of pebbles in 3/4 at this rate how many cubic yards of pebbles can he spread in one hour
