Gracie can iron 3 shirts in 13 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take her to iron 10 shirts? Which proportion shows how to solve the problem?

Respuesta :

Answer:

43 1/3 minutes to iron 10 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of shirts : Time taken

3 shirts : 13 minutes

10 shirts : x minutes

3 / 13 = 10 / x

Cross product

3 * x = 13 * 10

3x = 130

Divide both sides by 3

3x / 3 = 130 / 3

x = 43 1/3 minutes

x = 43 minutes 20 seconds

It will take 43 minutes 20 seconds to iron 10 shirts
