Question

Barry and Lou entered a hot dog eating contest. The winner of the contest is the person who can eat the most hot dogs in the allotted amount of time. Barry can eat 12 hot dogs in 9 minutes. Lou can eat 20 hot dogs in 16 minutes. Barry thinks with his rate he will win the contest.
Is Barry correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 12 by 9, you get 1.33... and if you divide 20 by 16, you get 1.25 so Barry can eat more hot dogs in less amount of time than Lou can.
