Answer:
40 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
If it takes her 8 minutes to mow 1/6 of it, we can find the total amount of time it will take by multiplying 8 by 6, since 1/6 times 6 is 1 (1 represents the whole lawn mowed)
8(6) = 48
The question asks for how many more minutes it will take, so subtract 48 by 8.
48 - 8 = 40
= 40 minutes
Answer:
40 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratios to solve
8 minutes x minutes
------------------- = ----------------
1/6 yard 1 yard
Using cross products
8 * 1 = 1/6 x
Multiply each side by 6
8*6 = 1/6 * x * 6
48 = x
48 minutes total
She has already done 8 minutes
48-8 = 40 minutes
