In fact, the formula is exactly the same, except we substitute &quot;work&quot; for distance:</p> <p>$$work = rate \times time$$</p> <p>Because they&#39;re the same, we solve them basically the same way we solve distance problems.</p> <p><strong><span style="color:#8e44ad;">Example</span></strong>&nbsp;</p> <p>Samantha can finish $5$ drawings in $12$ minutes. How many drawings does she complete in $300$ minutes?&nbsp;</p> <p>Her rate is $\frac{5 \ drawings}{12 \ minutes}$.</p> <p>$$work = \frac{5}{12} \times 300 = 125 \ drawings$$</p>
