Question

In 2 hours, a candy maker can make 80 boxes, each containing 10 pieces of candy. How many pieces of candy does the candy maker produce in 6 hours?

A) 240 pieces
B) 300 pieces
C) 320 pieces
D) 360 pieces

Answer 1

2400 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2 hours 80 boxes of candy are made with 10 pieces one each so we multiply 80 by 10 to see how many pieces are produced in 2 hours

80x10=800

since this is 2 hours and we need to find 6 hours we can multiply the 800 by 3 since 6/2=3

800x3

2400 pieces

hopes this helps

Answer 2

The candy maker produces 2400 pieces of candy in 6 hours, which is found by multiplying the number of boxes produced in 6 hours (240) by the number of pieces per box (10). The provided options do not include the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2 hours, the candy maker produces 80 boxes with 10 pieces of candy in each box. To find out how many pieces of candy are produced in 6 hours, we need to first calculate the total number of boxes made in 6 hours and then multiply that by the number of pieces in each box.

Since 2 hours produce 80 boxes, we set up a proportion to find out how many boxes are made in 6 hours:

1. Multiply the number of boxes made in 2 hours (80) by 6.
2. Divide the result by 2 to find the number of boxes made in 6 hours.

The calculation will look like this:

(80 boxes / 2 hours) × 6 hours = 240 boxes

Now that we know the candy maker produces 240 boxes in 6 hours, we multiply the number of boxes by the pieces of candy per box:

240 boxes × 10 pieces/box = 2400 pieces of candy

Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the options A) 240 pieces, B) 300 pieces, C) 320 pieces, or D) 360 pieces. The candy maker actually produces 2400 pieces of candy in 6 hours.
