Answer:
34 balloons in 30 minutes.
68 balloons in 60 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Fred the clown can create 17 animal balloons every 15 minutes. We are asked to find the number of balloons created by Fred in 30 minutes and 60 minutes.
To find number of balloons created by Fred in 30 minutes, we will multiply 17 by 2 as 30 is 2 times 15.
[tex]\text{Balloons created in 30 minutes}=2\times 17[/tex]
[tex]\text{Balloons created in 30 minutes}=34[/tex]
Therefore, Fred can create 34 balloons in 30 minutes.
To find number of balloons created by Fred in 60 minutes, we will multiply 17 by 4 as 60 is 4 times 15. This means Fred will create 4 times more balloons in 60 minutes than 15 minutes.
[tex]\text{Balloons created in 60 minutes}=4\times 17[/tex]
[tex]\text{Balloons created in 60 minutes}=68[/tex]
Therefore, Fred can create 68 balloons in 60 minutes.
