Kermit also loves to play music. He can play 30 songs on his guitar in 2 hours. Use the ratio to complete the table below:
2
30
в 60
5.5
In order to fill in the table, we can use the given ratio:
2 songs --> 30 minutes
To find the number of songs that Kermit can play in 60 minutes, we can solve this proportion:
2/30 = x/60
Cross multiplying, we get:
30x = 2 * 60
30x = 120
x = 120/30
x = 4
So, Kermit can play 4 songs in 60 minutes.
Similarly, to find the number of songs that Kermit can play in 5.5 hours (or 330 minutes), we can solve this proportion:
2/30 = x/330
Cross multiplying, we get:
30x = 2 * 330
30x = 660
x = 660/30
x = 22
So, Kermit can play 22 songs in 5.5 hours.
