This team can form
pretzels in 1 hour.

Answer 1

this team can form 30 pretzels in 1 hour

Explanation:

60 minutes are in a hour, and 60 divided by 9 is 6.6. So that means you would have to use 6. So 9 x 6 equals 54. Now do 5 x 6 and that would equal 30.

Answer 2

This team can form 400 pretzels in one hour

Explanation:

How many pretzels in 9 minutes?

5(12)=60

Solve as proportion

60 pretzels = 9 minutes

x pretzels = 60 minutes

60(60)=9x

3600=9x

Divide both sides by 9

x= 400 pretzels

This team can form 400 pretzels in 1 hour
