Question 807028
If John can pick 27.66 apples per minute and you want to know what time will he pick 1425 apples:

(1425 apples)/(24.66 apples/min)

The apples drop out of the equation, because they are in both the numerator and denominator.

1425/24.66 min

we then get

approx. 57.79 minutes.

Hope this helps!
