Answer :
Answer:
Option D - [tex]\frac{1}{4}=\frac{x}{300}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : During the peak holiday season, a department store gift wrapper is expected to wrap a small gift box in 4 minutes.
To find : Which proportion could you use to find how many gifts can be wrapped at the same rate in 5 hours?
Solution :
We have given that,
In 4 minutes we wrap 1 box.
Let x be the number of gift wrap in 5 hours.
Convert 5 hours into minutes,
1 hour = 60 minute
5 hour = [tex]5\times 60=300[/tex] minute
i.e. In 300 minute we wrap x box.
The proportion defined the same rate is given by,
[tex]\frac{1}{4}=\frac{x}{300}[/tex]
When we solve the proportion,
[tex]x=\frac{300}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=75[/tex]
Therefore, Option D is correct.
