Answer:

10 mintes

Explanation:

Mika would need 10 minutes to eat 35 hot dogs.

Mika can eat 21 hot dogs in 6 minutes. So Mika eats 21 hot dogs/6 minutes

So Mika eats 35 hot dogs/m minutes. The proportion is set up like this:

21/6 = 35/m Then, cross-multiply:

6ยท35 = 21m

m = 210/21

m = 10 minutes
