Question

Whitney prepared 16 kilograms of dough after working 4 hours. How much dough did

Whitney prepare if she worked for 5 hours? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer 1

The relationship between the amount of dough and the number of hours Whitney works is directly proportional, meaning that the ratio of the amount of dough to the number of hours remains constant. Let's call this constant of proportionality "k". We can find the value of k by using the information we have:

k = amount of dough / number of hours = 16 kg / 4 hours = 4 kg/hour

Now that we have the value of k, we can use it to find the amount of dough Whitney will prepare after working 5 hours:

amount of dough = k * number of hours = 4 kg/hour * 5 hours = 20 kg

So Whitney will prepare 20 kilograms of dough if she works for 5 hours

Answer 2

Explanation:

time take for 1 dough = 16kg/4hours= 4kg/hour

Dough in 5 hours = 4 x 5 = 20

She prepared 20kilograms of dough in 5 hours
