Questions: The trainers at Atlantis Aquarium perform shows about sea life. Yesterday, they performed 4 shows in 2 hours. Today, they will perform 6 shows. If they perform shows at the same rate, how many hours will the trainers spend performing shows today? hours

Solution Steps

To find the rate at which the trainers perform shows, we need to calculate how many shows they perform per hour. Yesterday, they performed 4 shows in 2 hours. Therefore, the rate is:

$$\text{Rate} = \frac{4 \text{ shows}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 2 \text{ shows per hour}$$

Today, the trainers will perform 6 shows. Using the rate calculated in Step 1, we can determine how many hours it will take to perform these shows:

$$\text{Time} = \frac{6 \text{ shows}}{2 \text{ shows per hour}} = 3 \text{ hours}$$
