Question

If jessie ate 14 cokkies in 4 hours then how many in 6 hours

Answer 1

21 cookies

Explanation:

14 cookies / 4 hours = r cookies/hour

x cookies / 6 hours = r cookies/hour

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

14 cookies / 4 hours = x cookies / 6 hours

14 * 6 = 4 * x

84 = 4x

x = 21

Answer 2

21 cookies

Explanation:

Jessie ate 14 cookies in 4 hours

14 / 4 = 3.5 cookies

So, Jessie eats 3.5 cookies per hour.

How many in 6 hours?

3.5 x 6 = 21 cookies

So, Jessie eats 21 cookies in 6 hours.
