One alien said, "A small gear turns 18 times in the same that a large gear turns 4 times. How many times will the large gear turn if the small gear turns 54 times? Draw a diagram to help set up a proportion and solve the problem."
We replied with a drawing:

Also with a sentence: The large gear will turn 12 times if the small gear turns 54 times.
The other alien continued, "A gardener takes a half hour to mow and weed a lawn that measures 20 m by 15 m. He charges $25.00 per hour. How much should the gardener receive for a lawn that measures 40 m by 30 m?"
We answered with another drawing:


Also, another sentence: The gardener should receive $25.00 for mowing and weeding a 40m by 30m lawn.
Then, both aliens asked at the same time, "David can saw a log into 3 pieces in 7 min. If he continues sawing at a constant rate, how long will it take him to saw a similar log into 6 pieces?"
Finally, we showed them another drawing:

Also, one last sentence: It will take him 14 min to saw a log into 6 pieces.
After answering their 3 questions, they hopped into their U.F.O. and flew away.
The End :)
