Marcus can bake 63 muffins in 45 minutes. At 9:00 AM, a large company placed an order for 500 muffins that they need to have by 3:00 PM

Can Marcus meet the deadline? Justify your answer.

There is 6 hours between 9am and 3pm
360 minutes in 6 hours
360 / 45 = 8
63 x 8 = 504
Marcus can meet the deadline, if he is able to bake 63 every 45 minutes then he will have baked 504 by the deadline.
