Nana can pack a bag of groceries in six-tenths of a minute. At that rate, how many bags of groceries can she pack in 15 minutes?

To find out how many bags of groceries Nana can pack in 15 minutes, we need to determine how many bags she can pack in 1 minute and then multiply that by 15.
We are given that she can pack a bag of groceries in six tenths of a mi zute, which can be written as 0.6 minutes. So, we divide 1 by 0.6 to find out how many bags she can pack in 1 minute:
1 / 0.6 = 1.67 (rounded to 2 decimal places).
Therefore, Nana can pack approximately 1.67 bags per minute, or 2 bags per minute if rounded up.
To find out how many bags she can pack in 15 minutes, we multiply her rate per minute by the number of minutes she will be packing:
2 bags/minute × 15 minutes = 30 bags.
Therefore, Nana can pack approximately 30 bags of groceries in 15 minutes.

Nana can pack approximately 25 bags of groceries in 15 minutes. This is calculated by first determining her packing rate of 1.67 bags per minute and then multiplying that by the 15 minutes. The final result is rounded down to 25 bags since fractions of bags are not feasible.
