Hi, this word problem has me stuck and I've been trying to figure it out for a while. It is as follows:
"It takes 1 person 30 minutes to peel carrots from 1 bag. How long will it take 3 people to peel carrots from 15 bags?"
This is my attempt so far:
30/1 = x/15
30 * 15 = x
450 = x
450/3 = 150 minutes
Is this right? Is there another way of solving this?
