we have that 1 1/2 acres-------------> 1.5 acres one hour----------------> 60 minutes
Step 1 I proceed to make a rule of three if Jami can now mow 1/6 acre -----------------------> in 8 minutes 1.5 acres----------------------------------------------> X X=1.5*8/(1/6)=72 minutes
72 minutes > 60 minutes
therefore Jami can not mow 1 1/2 acres in an hour The time required by jami to mow 1 1/2 acres is 72 minutes
