Question

A pizza eating participant can eat 3 slices ok pizza in 2 minutes if he continues at this rate then how many slices of pizza will he eat in 10 minutes

Answer 1

at this rate, he can eat 15 slices of pizza in 10 minutes **wow!!**

we can do this by setting it up as a proportion: 3slices/ 2 minutes= ?/1 minute

we divide 3 by 2 to get how many slices he can eat in one minute, which is 1.5

so, now, we just have to multiply 1.5 times 10 minutes, and we get 15 slices of pizza per 10 minutes
