Question

madeline can decorate 100 cookies in 2 hours. if she continues at this rate,how many cookies can she decorate in 5 hours​

Answer 1

Madeline can decorate 250 cookies in 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of cookies decorated in 2 hours = 100 cookies

Ratio of cookies to time = 100:2

Let,

x be the number of cookies decorated in 5 hours

Ratio of cookies to time = x:5

Using proportion;

Ratio of cookies to time :: Ratio of cookies to time

$100:2::x:5$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$2*x=100*5\\2x=500$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{500}{2}\\x=250$

Madeline can decorate 250 cookies in 5 hours.
