If Jason eats three potatoes in 20 minutes, how long, in hours, would it take for him to eat all 27 potatoes cooked by his wife?
How many minutes are in 20 minutes? ** Since 1 hour is 60 minutes, 20 minutes is 20/60=1/3 of an hour.
How many potatoes does Jason eat in an hour? ** Eating 3 potatoes per 20 minutes is 3/(1/3)=<<3/(1/3)=9>>9 potatoes per hour.
How many hours will it take Jason to eat all of the potatoes? ** At 9 potatoes per hour, it will take Jason 27/9=3 hours to eat all of the potatoes.
