    HELP! If it takes 42 minutes to load 3 1/2 trucks, how many minutes will it...

    ...take to load 6 1/2 trucks? A warehouse received 250 orders in April, and 300 orders in May. What was the percentage of increase in orders from April to May?

    A banner requires 1 1/3 sections of of plastic. How many banners can be made from 12 sections of plastic?

    42 / 3.5 = x / 6.5
    3.5x = 273
    x = 78 min

    250 + 250x = 300
    250x = 50
    x = .2
    20% increase

    12 / (4/3)
    12 * (3/4) = 9 banners
