Question

The table shows the number of cups of granola that a bakery uses for every 10 batches of energy bars.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mike is correct.

To make 30 batches of Rasisin Nut energy bars, the bakery will use 84 cups of granola.

To make 15 batches of Honey Almond energy bars, the bakery will use 63 cups of granola.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike says that the bakery uses more granola to make 30 batches of Raisin Nut energy bars than to make 15 batches of Honey Almond energy bars.

According to the table, the bakery uses 28 cups of granola for 10 batches of Raisin Nut, and 42 cups of granola for 10 batches of Honey Almond. Then, we multiply

$R=28 \times 3 = 84 \ cups\\H=42 \times 1.5 = 63 \ cups$

Therefore, the bakery uses more granola to make 30 batches of Raising, than to make 15 batches of Honey Almond. Mike is right.

(Notice that we multiplied Raisin Nut by 3, because it represents 3 tens, and Honey Almond was multiplied by 1.5, which represents 15 batches)
