Question

pounds of shrimp per hour. At this rate, he would sell
pounds of shrimp in 9 hours.

Answer 1

We don't have the value of the amount of shrimp Nicholas sold, so let's call it "x" pounds.

We know that he sold x pounds in 4 hours, so his rate of selling shrimp is:

x pounds / 4 hours = x/4 pounds per hour

To find out how many pounds of shrimp he would sell in 9 hours at this rate, we can use the formula:

amount of shrimp = rate x time

So,

amount of shrimp = (x/4) pounds per hour x 9 hours

amount of shrimp = (9x/4) pounds

Therefore, at this rate, Nicholas would sell 9x/4 pounds of shrimp in 9 hours.
