Question

Jesseie competes in hot dog eating contest.he can eat 32 hot dogs in 8 minutes . How many hotdogs can he eat in 12 minutes

Answer 1

Hi there!

The answer is 48. 

To solve this problem, we need to find the unit rate, or the amount of hot dogs he can eat per minute, and multiply that by 12 to find the amount of hot dogs he can eat in 12 minutes. 

First, let's convert and simplify 32 hot dogs per 8 minutes:

= 32/8
= 4
= 4 hot dogs per min

4 hot dogs per minute is our unit rate. 

Now, we should multiply the unit rate by 12:

4 * 12 = 48

So, the answer is 48 hot dogs. 

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

48 since he eats 4 a minute and 4 times 12 equals 48.
