Question

Jeff has already prepared 6 kilograms of dough and will continue preparing 1 kilogram of

dough every hour. How much dough did Jeff prepare if he worked for 11 hours?

Answer 1

11 pounds of dough because if he prepares 1 kilogram of dough and hour and he works for 11 hours he prepared
6 pounds of dough

Answer 2

Dough prepared by Jeff after working for 11 hours is 17 kg

SOLUTION:

Given that, Jeff has already prepared 6 kg of dough.

And, he will continue preparing at the rate of 1 kg of dough per an hour.

Rate of preparation =
`(1 kg )/(1 hour)` = 1 kg per hour.

If Jeff worked for 11 hours, then dough prepared = rate of preparation
`*`time taken

Dough prepared =
`1 * 11`

Dough prepared = 11 kg

Total dough prepared by Jeff = already prepared 6kg of dough + dough prepared in 11 hours

Total dough = 6 + 11 = 17kg

Hence, dough prepared by Jeff after working for 11 hours is 17 kg
