Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour. if she keeps picking strawberries at the same rate, how many gallons of strawberries will she have picked in 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 gallon to 1/2 hr = x gallons to 2 hrs

(3/4) / (1/2) = x / 2

cross multiplythis is a proportion

1/2x = 2 * 3/4

1/2x = 3/2

x = 3/2 * 2

x = 3 <== she will have picked 3 gallons

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
