Question

Sarah and Jean were able to sell 4 dozen of cupcakes in a hour at a school fair if this rate continue how many dozen s of cupcakes well they be able to sell if the school fair 5 at 9:00 am and ends in 5:00 pm​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Firstly,

We can tell by reading the question that they sell 48 cupcakes witch is 4 dozens every hour so if they continue to sell at that same rate then:

There are 8 hours between 9am and 5pm

∴ It is 48:1

That means 48 cupcakes per hour this is equation is a direct proportion so if any number increases so will the other

So if it is 48:1 then x:8 with be = 48x8

∴ Sarah and Jean will be able to sell 384 cupcakes
