Answer 1

For this we have to do simple division and multiplication, giving us the answer of 48.

Explanation:

The easiest way to solve this is to first divide 12 by 3, giving us 4, the amount of time it would take for Bao to eat a single chicken nugget. And then since the question asks how many Bao can eat in 12 minutes, you would multiply 4 by 12, thus giving you the answer of 48.

Answer 2

48

Explanation:

If Bao eats 12 chicken wings in 3 minutes than that will help us find the unit rate by dividing 12 by 3, and then you will get 4. Now that you know the unit rate you will multiply it by 12 and get 48.
