Question

The number of hot dogs Ryan can eat varies directly with the amount of time he spends eating. If Ryan can eat 14 hot dogs in 6 minutes, how many hot dogs can he eat in 15 minutes? HELPPPPPPPPPPP

Answer 1

35

Explanation:

Let h represent the number of hot dogs Ryan eats in 15 minutes. Since the rates are the same, we have ...

dogs/minutes = h/15 = 14/6

Multiplying by 15 gives us ...

h = (15·14)/6 = 35

Ryan can eat 35 hot dogs in 15 minutes.
