Answer:

[tex]150[/tex] potatoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the assistant can peel [tex]18[/tex] potatoes in [tex]6[/tex] minutes, we know that he can peel [tex]\frac{18}{6}=3[/tex] potatoes in [tex]1[/tex] minute. Therefore, he will be able to peel [tex]3*50=150[/tex] potatoes in [tex]50[/tex] minutes. Hope this helps!

snog used unitary method to find the answer.

ALITER:-

Given,

Potatoes peeled in 6 minutes = 18

Let, potatoes cooked in 50 minutes = k

Here, more the time passes, the more the assistant peels potatoes.

∴ It is a case of direct variation,

where,

x/y = k (constant)

So, 18/6 = k/50 (potatoes peeled/time)

⇒ k = 3 × 50 = 150 (answer).
