Question

The bakers Healthy Bakery make 250 bagels in 10 hours. How many bagels can they bake in 12 hours? What was that rate per hour?

Answer 1

Compare the two statements;
250 bagels=10 hours
Y=12 hours
I represented the unknown with Y. Cross and multiply. Y will multiply 10 to give 10Y and 12 will multiply 250 to give 3000. That will be;
10Y=3000
Divide both sides by 10. You will have;
Y=3000/10
Y=300
300 bagels will be made in 12 hours

To get the number of bagels per hour, divide the number of bagels by the number of hours. That will be;
300/12=25
OR
250/10=25
Hope that helped. Have a nice day

Answer 2

250/10 = 25 bagels per hour

25*12 = 300 bagels in 12 hours
