Question

Kate can bake 4 dozen cupcakes in an hour. Write an equation to determine how long it will take her to bake 25 dozen cupcakes. Use x for the unknown amount.

Answer 1

Answer: 6 1/4 hours

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Kate can bake 4 dozen cupcakes in an hour. The equation to determine how long it will take her to bake 25 dozen cupcakes will be gotten by dividing 25 dozen cupcakes by 4 dozen cupcakes. This will be:

= 25/4

= 6 1/4 hours or 6 hours 15 minutes

Note that 60 minutes = 1 hour

1/4 hour = 1/4 × 60 = 15 minutes
