    Belen can make 15 necklaces in 3 1/2 hours. How many can she make in one hour?

    We set up a proportion of necklaces to time, where n is the number of necklaces Belen can make in 1 hour:
    3 & 1/2 = 3.5, so we have:
    15/3.5 = n/1

    To solve this proportion, we type it in our search engine and we get:
    n = 4.29 hours
