Question

Raven is baking cookies. It takes 15 of an hour to bake each pan of cookies, and she can only fit 1 pan of cookies at a time in the oven. How many pans of cookies can she bake in 2 hours? Write and solve an equation to represent this problem.

Answer 1

she can put 8 pans in the oven in the time span of 2 hours.

step by step:
15min/1hr = 1 pan
15 x 4 = 60 (1 hour)
multiply 4 by two (for two hours)
4 x 2 = 8

Answer 2

she can put 8 pans in the oven in 2 hours.

Explanation:

there is 120 minutes in 2 hours. 120 ÷ 15 = 8. so then the 8 equals how many pans she can put in the oven
