Question

Mika can eat 21 hot dogs in 6 minutes. She wants to know how many minutes (m) it would take her to eat

35 hot dogs if she can keep up the same pace.
How many minutes would Mika need to eat 35 hot dogs?

Answer 1

The answer is 10 minutes.

Explanation:

First, convert the known amount of time to a fraction.

6/21 (min over hot dogs).

Set up a proportion.

6/21 = m/35 (m being the number of minutes)

Cross multiply.

210 = 21m

Solve for m. (divide each side by 21)

m = 10

I hope this helps! :)
