If it takes Bill 8 minutes to peel 30 potatoes, how many potatoes can he peel in one hour?

A. 16
B. 120
C. 144
D. 225
E. 240


8min---------30 potatoes
60min---------(30*60)/8=225
hence d is the answer.

Bill can peel 30/8 x 60 = 1800/8 = 225 potatoes in one hour.

Alternate Solution:

We can set up a proportion: “8 minutes is to 30 potatoes as 60 minutes is to x:”

8/30 = 60/x

8x = 1800

x = 225
