Q. Joy is making hand-painted ornaments for her family this year. Yesterday, she made

2

ornaments in

6

hours. This weekend, she plans to spend a total of

15

hours making ornaments.

\newline

If Joy works at the same rate, how many ornaments will she make this weekend?

\newline

____ ornaments

\newline

Calculate Rate of Ornaments: Calculate Joy's rate of making ornaments. $\newline$ She made $2$ ornaments in $6$ hours. $\newline$ Rate $=$ Total Ornaments $/$ Total Time $\newline$ Rate $=$ $2$ ornaments $/$ $6$ hours $\newline$ Rate $=$ $\frac{1}{3}$ ornament per hour
Calculate Ornaments in $15$ Hours: Calculate the number of ornaments Joy can make in $15$ hours at the same rate. $\newline$ Total Ornaments $= \text{Rate} \times \text{Total Time}$ $\newline$ Total Ornaments $= (\frac{1}{3} \text{ ornament/hour}) \times 15 \text{ hours}$ $\newline$ Total Ornaments $= 5 \text{ ornaments}$
