First, find out how many messages are received a second. Do this by dividing messages by 60 seconds.
120/60 = 2 messages a second
now multiply 2 by 150
2*150 = 300messages in 150 seconds
your answer is (3) 300
In 150 seconds, the cell phone can receive 300 messages.
Here the word division itself answering the question i.e., divide something in parts. Let we have a value a divided by b. it means a is divided into b equal parts.
In our problem,
The cell phone can receives 120 messages in a minute.
That can be written as:
60 seconds ⇔ 120 messages
1 second ⇔ [tex]\frac{120}{60}[/tex] messages = 2 messages per second.
In 150 seconds:
150 second ⇔ 2 x (150) messages = 300 messages
Hence the cell phone can receive 300 messages per 150 seconds.
