Question 14 (1 point)

A local bakery called "Becky's Bakery" makes 100 batches of cookies in 8 hours. If they keep up this
pace, how many batches of cookies would they make in 12
hours

Answer 1

150

Explanation:

Find how many batches in one hour

100/8 = 12.5

Multiply 12 hours with 12.5 batches

12 x 12.5 = 150

So, in 12 hours 150 batches are made.

Answer 2

150 = x

Explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

100 batches x batches

------------------- = ---------------------

8 hours 12 hours

Using cross products

100 * 12 = 8x

1200 = 8x

Divide by 8

1200/8 = 8x/8

150 = x
