Question

The hot dog eating champion eats 27.5 hot dogs in 4 minutes. At that rate, how many does he eat in the 10-minute competition?

A) 1.45 Mrs. Teal was in the cafeteria.
B) 68.75 Mr. Brown was in the library.
C) 81.5 Mr. Maroon was in the auditorium.
D) 110 Miss Violet was in the principal’s office.
E) 275 Dr. Navy was in the student center.

Answer 1

First you need to find how many hot dogs the champion eats in 1 minute so the equation for that will be:
27.5/4 = 6.875
So to find the amount of hot dogs they will eat in 10 minutes you just multiply 6.875 by 10
= 68.75
So the answer is B
