Question

The baker's at a bakery can make 160 bagels in 4 hours how many bagesl can they bake in 16 hours? What is that rate per hour. "Explanation"

Answer 1

640 bagels

Rate: 40bagels/hour

Explanation:

If the baker's at a bakery can make 160 bagels in 4 hours, then;

160 bagels = 4 hours

To calculate the amount the baker can bake in 16hours, we can write;

x bagels = 16hours

Divide both expressions

160/x = 4/16

160/x = 1/4

Cross multiply

x* 1= 160 * 4

x = 640

Hence the baker can bake 640 bagels in 16hours

To know the rate per hour, we can write;

x bagel = 1hr

Recall that; 160bagels = 4 hours

Cross multiply

x * 4 = 1 * 160

4x = 160

x = 160/4

x = 40

Hence the rate per hour is 40bagels/hour
