Question

Answer 1

The restaurant expect to sell more than 100 omelets

Explanation:

we know that

The restaurant sell 6 omelets every 15 minutes

The restaurant serves breakfast from 6:00 am until 10:30 am

10:30 am-6:00 am=4.5 hours

Convert 4.5 hours to minutes

`4.5\ h=4.5(60)=270\ min`

so

using proportion

Find out the number of omelets that the restaurant expect to sell in 270 minutes

Let

x ----> the number of omelets

`(6)/(15)(omelets)/(minutes)=(x)/(270)(omelets)/(minutes)\\\\x=270(6)/15\\\\x= 108\ omelets`

`108 > 100`

therefore

The restaurant expect to sell more than 100 omelets
