Question

Adrian decorated 16 cupcakes and 28 minutes if he can continues at this pace how many minutes will it take him to decorate 56 cupcakes

Answer 1

Answer: 98 mins

Explanation:

First find out the number of minutes it takes him to decorate a single cupcake:= Number of minutes / Number of cupcakes decorated = 28 / 16= 1.75 minutes per cupcakeIf he had to decorate 56 cupcakes, the amount of time he would take is:= Number of cupcakes to be decorated x Time taken per cupcake = 56 x 1.75= 98 minutes

Answer 2

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that Adrian decorates cupcakes at a constant rate, so we can use a proportion to solve the problem.

If Adrian can decorate 16 cupcakes in 28 minutes, we can set up the proportion:

16/28 = 56/x

where x is the number of minutes it will take to decorate 56 cupcakes.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

16x = 28 * 56

16x = 1568

x = 1568/16

x = 98

Therefore, if Adrian can continue at the same pace, it will take him 98 minutes to decorate 56 cupcakes.
