Ben wants to pick 56 sugar snap peas. At his current rate of picking, all will be picked in seven minutes. How long, in minutes, would it take Ben to pick 72 sugar snap peas? Give me reasons, before answering the question
In 1 minute, Ben picks 56 / 7 = 8 sugar snap peas. Ben would take 72 / 8 = 9 minutes to pick 72 sugar snap peas. So the final answer is 9.
