Question

If you can eat 3/4 of a burger in 2 minutes how long would it take you to eat 4 hamburgers

Answer 1

Answer: 10min 40s

Explanation:

3/4 burger->2 mins

1/4 burger->2 mins ÷ 3

=2/3

(4/4 burger)1 whole burger->2/3 x 4

= 2 2/3

4 whole burgers->2 2/3 x4

=10 2/3

2/3 mins=2/3 x 60s

=40s

10min 40s

Answer 2

10 minutes 40 seconds

Explanation:

Let's get this in the form of "so much time to eat 1 burger."

2 minutes to eat 3/4 of a burger means:

2 minutes ÷ 3/4 burger, which is the same as:

2 x 4/3 = 8/3 minutes to eat one burger

(Simplifies to 2 2/3 minute per burger, but let's leave it as 8/3 for now.)

So now just multiply that by 4 burgers:

4 x 8/3 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 minutes = 10 min 40 sec
