My question is: Lucy works in a pet shop. She can clean 2 aquariums in 3 hours. If Lucy is working 24 hours this week, how many aquariums could she clean? Your thoughts:
We know how many aquariums Lucy can clean in a 3 - hour increment. This week, Lucy will work for 24 / 3 = 8 increments. Lucy can clean 2 aquariums per increment, so she can clean 2 x 8 = 16 aquariums. The final answer: 16.
