Question

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. if joy works at the same rate, how many ornaments will she make this weekend?

blank ornaments.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the rate

First, find the rate of making ornaments per hour. She made 2 ornaments in 6 hours, so the rate $r$ is $\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$ ornaments per hour.

Step2: Calculate the number of ornaments

She plans to work 15 hours this weekend. Using the formula $n = r\times t$ (where $n$ is the number of ornaments, $r$ is the rate, and $t$ is the time), we substitute $r=\frac{1}{3}$ and $t = 15$. So $n=\frac{1}{3}\times15 = 5$.

Answer:
