You have bake cookies and cupcakes for a school fundraiser,and now you must package them. Each cupcakes takes 2 minutes to wrap and each cookie takes 1 minutes to wrap. If you only have 1 hour to packages baked goods, how many of each can you wrap?

If you only want to box all of the cookies in that hour, then you must divide 60(there are 60 minutes in a hour)/2=30. So you could box 30 cupcakes in a hour. If you wanted to just box cookies, then 60/1, so you could box 60 cookies in one full hour. If you want to only use half of the time for each, divide the original answer by 2
30/2=15
60/2=30
