Question

a farmer plants five apple tree in 25 minutes. if he continues to work at a constant rate, how long will it take him to plant 200 trees.
please give answer in details with unitory or proportion method​

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take him 1000 minutes (16.67 hours)

Step-by-step explanation:

t = trees

m = minutes

5 (t) = 25 (m)

200 = ?

First, you divide 200 by 5 which is 40. This number is what you are going to times 25 by. You must use the same number for both sides of the equation if they are directly proportional.

25 x 40 = 1000 (minutes)

It's a little hard to explain without a diagram, but I hope this makes sense and is correct.
