Question

The bakers healthy bakery can make 160 bagels in 5 hours. a.how many can they make in 1 hour? B.How many can they make in 12 hours?

Answer 1

I believe it would be 32 in 1 hour. A: 160÷5=32
For the second part you multiply B: 32x12=384
so 384 bagels in 12 hours.

Answer 2

A) Think of the amount as a fraction or ratio: 160/5 now, we want the denominator to be equivalent to 1 hour so we divide 5 by 5 to get 1. What we do to the bottom, we do to the top, so we do 160 divided by 5 = 32 bagels in 1 hour.
B) Now take 160/5 and set the denominator equal to 12. 5 times 2.4 equals 12, so then multiply 160 times 2.4 = 384 bagels in 12 hours. Hope this helps!
