Question

Herman prepared 10 kilograms of dough after working 5 hours. How much dough did Herman

prepare if he worked for 8 hours? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer 1

1) First let's find the ratio or how many kilograms of dough Herman can prepare per hour

• 10/5 = 2/1
• What does this mean? It means that every hour Herman is able to prepare 2 kilograms of dough.

2) Now let's create an equation:

• y=2x
• y=kilograms of dough
• 2=kilograms of dough per hour
• x=hours

3) Lets use the equation!

• y=2(8)
• y=16

Answer: Herman will prepare 16 kilograms of dough in 8 hours.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Answer 2

16 kilos of dough



Explanation:
• 10 kilos of dough divided by the 5 working hours equals 2

- 10 ÷ 5 = 2

• 2 x 8 = 16
