Question

Cher ate 6 hot dogs every 18 minutes. At that rate, how many would she eat in 9 minutes?

Answer 1

3 hot dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve as follows;

`\begin{gathered} 6\text{ hot dogs }\rightarrow18\min utes \\ x\text{ }\rightarrow9\text{ minutes} \\ \therefore18\ast x=9\ast6 \\ 18x=54 \\ x=(54)/(18) \\ x=3\text{ hot dogs} \end{gathered}`

So Cher will eat 3 hot dogs in 9 minutes.
