Pat bounces a basketball 25 times in 30 seconds. at that rate approximately how many times will pat bounce the ball in 150 seconds?

Pat will bounce the ball 125 times in 150 seconds

Solution:

Given that,

Pat bounces a basketball 25 times in 30 seconds

To find: Number of times Pat will bounce the ball in 150 seconds

From given information,

30 seconds = 25 times

Therefore number of times ball bounces in 1 second is:

So to find for 150 seconds, multiply both the sides by 150

Therefore Pat will bounce the ball 125 times in 150 seconds

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
