Question

An ice cream factory makes 140 quarts of ice cream in 2 hours. How many quarts could be made in 12 hours? What was that rate per day?​

Answer 1

840 quarts could be made in 12 hours. The rate per day is 1680 quarts could be made per day.

Explanation:

140/2=x/12

reduce/simplify 140/2 to 70

so 70/1=x/12.

cross product

70*12=1*x

840=x

One day has 24 hours,

so we multiply 2 by 12 to get 24,

thus 840*2=1680.
