Question

Isaac is making soft pretzel nuggets. His recipe says that, after he makes the dough, he should divide it into 8 equal pieces. Then, he needs to roll each piece into a 2-foot-long rope and cut it into nuggets. If he decides to make each pretzel nugget 1 inch long, how many can he make in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 192 pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

number of pieces = 8

length of each piece = 2 ft

length of each pretzel = 1 in

number of pretzels = x

Process

1.- Convert ft to in

                        1 ft --------------- 12 in

                         2 ft --------------- x

                         x = (2 x 12) / 1

                         x = 24 ft

2.- Divide the length of each piece by the length of each pretzel

                       24/1 = 24 pretzels per piece

3.- Multiply the number of pretzels per the number of pieces

                       24 x 8 = 192 pretzels
