Question

It takes the coach 6 days to create 10 new zombies ice cream flavors. If he works at the same rate,how many zombie flavors would he create in 25 days?

Answer 1

Answer: 41
`(2)/(3)` flavors

Explanation:

First, we will create a unit rate of ice cream flavors per day.

10 flavors / 6 days = 5/3 flavors per day.

Next, we will multiply this unit rate by the number of days.

5/3 flavors per day * 25 days = 41
`(2)/(3)` flavors

We can also solve with a proportion.

`\displaystyle (6\;days)/(10\;flavors) =(25\;days)/(x\;flavors)`

Next, we will cross-multiply.

6 * x = 10 * 25

6x = 250

x = 250/6 = 41
`(2)/(3)` flavors
