Question

One morning, Muhammad's deli shop sells 15 sandwiches in 10 minutes. If the shop continues to sell sandwiches at the same rate, about how many sandwiches will the shop sell in 3/4 of an hour?

Answer 1

68 sandwiches

Explanation:

Given that,

A shop sells 15 sandwiches in 10 minutes.

10 minutes = (10/60) hour = (1/6) hour

In (1/6) hour shop sells 15 sandwiches

In 1 hour = 90 sandwiches

To find, no of sandwiches in 3/4 hours, multiply 3/4 by 90. So,

In 3/4 hour =
`90* (3)/(4)=67.5` sandwiches

or

≅ 68 sandwiches

So, 68 sandwiches can be made in 3/4 hour.
