Question

Erica has already prepared 5 kilograms of dough and will continue preparing 1 kilogram of dough every hour. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the hours worked h and the dough prepared d. Write your answer as an equation with d first, followed by an equals sign.

Answer 1

Total prepared = 5 kg (previously prepared)+ 5 kg prepared in 5 hrs = 10 kg

Explanation:

1 kg/hr × 5 hr = 5 kg dough prepared in 5 hours (This is Erica has prepared in 5 hours)

Total prepared = 5 kg (previously prepared)+ 5 kg prepared in 5 hrs = 10 kg
