Alejandra can husk 8 ears of corn in 24 minutes. at this rate, how many ears of corn can she husk in 33 minutes?

24 minutes = 8 ears of corn
so in 33 minutes?

(8/24) * 33
(1/3) * 33
11 ears of corn

To solve this problem, we need to set up a proportion.  Let's let x represent the number of ears of corn that Alejandra can husk in 33 minutes, or what we are trying to find.

8/24 = x/33 

Now, to simplify this proportion, we need to use cross products.  This is setting the products of one numerator and the opposite denominator equal to the product of one denominator and the opposite numerator.

8 * 33 = 24 * x

If we perform the multiplication, the resulting equation is:

264 = 24x 

Now, we have to divide both sides by 24, in order to get the x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 11

Therefore, Alejandra can husk 11 ears of corn in 33 minutes.

Ithink it would be 160 people
