Given:
Jackson eats ¼ of a banana in ½ minute or 30 seconds.
Determine how much time will Jackson need to eat the full banana.
Solution:
Since every 30 seconds, Jackson can eat ¼ of the banana, then after some specific time, Jackson can completely eat the banana.
We can do this easily by illustrating in ratio. ¼ : 30
¼ = 30
½ = 60
¾ = 90
1 =120
Therefore, Jackson can eat the whole banana in 120 seconds or in 2 minutes.
