Question

The fastest pizza box folder can assemble 7 pizzas in 25 seconds. At this rate, how long would it take to assemble 21 pizza boxes

Answer 1

50 seconds in order to assemble 20 pizza boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two ways to solve this the first way is divide 20 by 2 which is 10 and then multiply 10 by 5 the reason to this is because we know that for every 2 it takes 5 seconds.

the second way takes longer but you write:

2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2,

5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5,

so here were basically writing the number 2 10 times because when u count that u can see that it equals 20 and then since for every 2 boxes it takes 5 seconds u put the 5 under each 2 so then you would count the 5s, like 5, 10 15, 20... and so on and u will see that its 50 which means 50 seconds.
