It takes Benjamin 28 minutes to mow 2 lawns. How long does it take him to mow 1 lawn? Assuming the lawns are the same size and Benjamin works at the same speed, how long will it take him to mow 5 lawns?

Given :

Time taken by Benjamin to mow 2 lawn = 28 minutes

So, Time taken by Benjamin to mow 1 lawn = 28/2

= 14 minutes 

And, Time taken by Benjamin to mow 5 lawns = (14 × 5) minutes 

= 70 minutes
