You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sarah does 1/5 of a job in 6 minutes
The whole job is , so
she must work 5 times as long to do
5 times as much work, so
Sarah does 1 job in 30 minutes
If she only works for 1/3 of this time,
which is 10 minutes, she will only get
1/3 as much done, so
Sarah does 1/3 of the job in 10 minutes
