Joey Chestnut is trying to break his own world record for eating the most hot dogs and buns in 101010 minutes. He needs to eat m
ore than 72 hot dogs to break his record. After 1 minute of competition, Joey has eaten 10 hot dogs. Joey wants to know the number of hot dogs per minute that he needs to eat for the next 9 minutes to break his own record. ?= Let d represent the number of hot dogs Joey eats per minute. Write an inequality to determine the number of hot dogs per minute Joey must eat for the last 9 minutes to break his record.
Well since he already ate 10 in the first minute, u subtract that from the total 72 hot dogs he needs to eat. = 62
Then use the formula 62= 9d
By solving that, you get 6.8 recurring.
