Akiko ate 60 hot dogs in 10 hours. At that rate, how many hot dogs would she eat in 20 minutes?

Answer 1

Akiko ate per hour:-

• Total hot dogs/Total hours
• 60/10
• 6dogs/hour

So

20min=1/3h

Total hot dogs

• 6/3
• 2

Answer 2

2 hot dogs

Explanation:

Total hot dogs she ate in 10 hours,

→ 60 hot dogs

Total hot dogs she ate in 1 hour,

→ 60/10

→ 6 hot dogs

The fraction of 20 minutes in a hour,

→ 20 minutes/1 hour

→ 20/60

→ 2/6 = [ 1/3 ]

Rate of hot dogs she ate in 20 minutes,

→ 6 × 1/3

→ 6/3

→ [ 2 hot dogs ]

So, Akiko ate 2 hot dogs in 20 minutes.
