Question

Ryan can eat 3 hot dogs in 2 minutes at this rate, how many hot dogs could he eat in 7 minutes

Answer 1

I do believe it it would be 10 hot dogs

Explanation:

I got this by drawing a table

# of hot dogs # of minutes

3 2

6 4

9 6

10 7

Answer 2

You could layout the question like this:

3 hot dogs = 2 minutes
x hot dogs = 7 minutes

In order to get from 2 minutes to 7 minutes, we could divide by 2 and then multiply by 7. So let’s do that to both sides.

3/2 = 1.5 x 7 = 10.5.

Therefore,

3 hot dogs = 2 minutes
10.5 hot dogs = 7 minutes
