Question

The hotdog eating champion, ate 13 hot dogs every 2 minutes at the county fair contest. How long did it take him to eat 91 hot dogs at the same rate?

Answer 1

They ate 13 hot dogs in 2 minutes, so divide 13 by 2 to find out how many hot dogs he ate in 1 minute:

13 / 2 = 6.5 hot dogs per minute.

Now divide total hot dogs eaten by 6.5 to get the total time:

91 / 6.5 = 14 total minutes.

Answer 2

First you calculate the rate for how many hotdogs he could eat per minute:

13 / 2 = 6.5

Now you must apply the same rate to 91:

91 / 6.5 = 14

Answer:

$\boxed{\bf~He~can~eat~91~hotdogs~in~14m.}$

Hope it helped,
