Question

Machine A pops 12.75 ounces of popcorn in 3 minutes. Machine B pops 18 ounces in 4 minutes. If each machine pops popcorn for 10 minutes, will there be enough popcorn for eight 9-ounce bags? Explain.

Answer 1

= 12.75 *3 = 4.25
=18* 4 = 4.5
=4.25 x 10 = 42.5
=4.5x 10= 45
=45+42.5= 87.5
=87.5*9= 9.7222...

Yes there will be enough popcorn for eight 9-Ounce bags because there’s an extra bag of popcorn left
