Algebra.Com's Answer #110646 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You investigate how long it would take you and a friend to fold 1000 origami cranes. \n" ); document.write( "You take 2 minutes to fold 1 crane. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore your rate is (1/2) crane/minute \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Let x represent the number of minutes it might take a friend to fold 1 crane. \n" ); document.write( "Then her rate is 1/x crane/minute \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------- \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Question: The expression 60/1000x is your friend's work rate per hour. Explain why. \n" ); document.write( "(1/x)(crane/min)(60 min/1 hr) = 60/x (crane/hr) \n" ); document.write( "================ \n" ); document.write( "Comment: I don't agree with the 60/1000x answer. \n" ); document.write( "================ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
