An actress in the daytime drama Edge of Evening spends 25 minutes learning 15 lines of dialogue. At that rate, how long would it take her to learn 120 lines?

Answer 1

200 minutes

First, you do 120 divided by 15 because you think the 15 lines per 25 minutes as a rate. Since 120 divided by 15 is 8, you multiply 25 by 8 to get 200. The ratios are 15 lines:25 minutes as 120 lines: ? minutes. You can solve this ratio and also get 200 minutes by multiplying by 8 on both sides of the first ratio.

To learn 120 lines of dialogue at the same rate, the actress would need ( \frac{120}{15} ) times the original time. ( \frac{120}{15} = 8 ). So, it would take her ( 8 \times 25 = 200 ) minutes.
