The number of cookies Natalie can bake varies directly with the time she

spends baking. She can make 3 dozen cookies in 0.5 of an hour. How many
dozen cookies can she make in 5 hours?

Please help fast!!

We already know that 0.5 of an hour, or half of an hour, is 30 minutes. We also know that 3 dozen equals 36. With this information, we can conclude that Natalie can make 72 cookies in one hour. 72 times 5 is 360. 360 divided by 12 is 30, so, Natalie can bake 30 dozen, or 360, cookies in five hours.
