Question

An ice cream factory makes 100 quarts of ice cream in 5 hours how many quarts could be made in 36 hours

Answer 1

Answer: I think it’s 3600?????

Explanation:

5-100

1-20

36*20=720

720*5=3600 quarters??

I’m not so sure

Answer 2

720 Quarts

Explanation:

`(100)/(5) = (x)/(36)`

cross multiply

`(100)/(5)*(36)/(36) = (x)/(36)*(5)/(5)\\\\(3,600)/(180)=(5x)/(180)`

now that they are both divided by 180, we can eliminate it

`3,600=5x\\\\(3,600)/(5)=(5x)/(5)\\\\720=x`
