1. The machine makes 20 gigabytes of data per hour. To find out how many gigabytes it makes in 3 hours, multiply 20 by 3: 20 × 3 = 60 gigabytes.
2. Tom earns $15 per hour. In 8 hours, he earns 15 × 8 = $120. Since he works 5 days a week, his weekly earnings are 120 × 5 = $600.
3. Using the formula distance = rate × time, with a rate of 60 miles per hour and time of 2.5 hours, the distance is 60 × 2.5 = 150 miles.
4. The cost for 1 gallon of gas is $3.75. For 10 gallons, the total cost is 3.75 × 10 = $37.50.
5. The recipe requires 2 cups of flour per 1 batch. For 5 batches, you need 2 × 5 = 10 cups of flour.
6. Courtney runs at 6 miles per hour. In 2.5 hours, she runs 6 × 2.5 = 15 miles.
