But wait — there’s a catch. The user uploaded an image with multiple problems, but didn’t specify which one to solve. However, looking at the worksheet and key, it seems like Problem 1 is about Sam raking bags of leaves.

Let me check the problem:

Problem 1:
Sam raked 3 bags of leaves in 16 minutes. If he continues to work at the same rate, about how long will it take him to rake 5 bags?

From the KEY side, we see:
Proportion: 3 bags / 16 min = 5 bags / x min
Work: 3x = 80 → x = 26.7

So the answer should be approximately 26.7 minutes.

I’ll verify:

Rate = 3 bags per 16 minutes → so time per bag = 16/3 ≈ 5.333 min/bag
For 5 bags: 5 × 5.333 = 26.666... ≈ 26.7 minutes ✔️

Final Answer:
26.7 minutes
