Given the statement:
Natalie picked 135 berries in 15 minutes.
Determine how long will it take for Natalie to picked 486 berries.
Solution:
We must first determine the berries picked per minute by dividing 135 by 15.
= 135 berries/15 minutes
= 9 berries/minute
Now we need to divide 486 by 9 to determine the time.
= 486 berries/9 berries/min
= 54 minutes
Final answer
It would take Natalie 54 minutes to pick up 486 berries.
