Question

caroline can sketch 4 cartoon strips in five hours. how long will it take her to sketch 8 strips? it will take her (square) hours.

Explanation:

Step1: Find rate of sketching

Caroline sketches 4 strips in 5 hours. So rate is 4 strips per 5 hours.

Step2: Set up proportion for 8 strips

Let \( t \) be time for 8 strips. Proportion: \(\frac{4}{5}=\frac{8}{t}\)

Step3: Solve for \( t \)

Cross - multiply: \( 4t = 8\times5 \)
\( 4t = 40 \)
Divide by 4: \( t=\frac{40}{4}=10 \)

Answer:

10
