Leila Snow · Answer 1

The answer is D-12) I just took the test and got it right

Raul Serrano · Answer 2

Let, L = Lawn Mower and A = Acre and H = Hours

4L = 2A = 2H

2L = 1A = 1H

We want 6A (acres), we know the amount of lawn mowers doesn't change -

If 1 Acre takes 1 Hour, we know 6 Acres will take 6 hours (when their are 2 lawn mowers).

Either i'm missing something or the answers are wrong,
