Question

lauren has started a business baking cupcakes she calculated it takes one person 6 1/2 minutes to frost each batch how many minutes will it take her and 4 friends to prepare 20 batches of cupcakes if everyone frosts batches at the same rate

Answer 1

32.5 minutes

Explanation:

If it's Lauren and 4 other people, then there are a total of 5 people

20/5 = 4

each person is going to frost 4 batches of cupcakes

if it takes 6 1/2 minutes to frost 1 batch and they all frost at the same rate then we need to multiply 6 1/2 by 5.

6 1/2 * 5 = 32.5

It's going to take her and her friends 32.5 minutes to frost the cupcakes
