If Adam washes 12 dishes in 3.5 minutes how many dishes can he wash in 21minutes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the amount of dishes washed in 21 minutes be D\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Just set up a proportion to determine the amount of dishes, as follows:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"12%2F%28D%29+=+3.5%2F21\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3.5D = 12(21) ------- Cross-multiplying\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D, or amount of dishes washed in 21 minutes = \"%2812%2821%29%29%2F3.5\", or \"36%2F.5\", or \"highlight_green%2872%29\"\r
