Answer:

The answer is 160

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 2 hours to bake 20 cupcakes, then the rate is:

20 cupcakes in 120 minutes

Which is equal to 1 cupcake in 6 minutes

Therefore, in 16 hours, or in 16*60=960 minutes, the number of cupcakes that could be made can be found using proportion:

Let's denote the number of cupcakes that could be made in 960 minutes as 'x'

Then:

1 cupcake - 6 minutes

x cupcakes - 960 minutes

Find x: x=(960 * 1)/6=160 cupcakes

Thus, the answer is 160

3 3/5 + 9 3/5 answer with a mixed number in simplest form

Romashka [77]

Both fractions have the same denominator so it's going to be easy. First set up your equation:

$3 \frac{3}{5} + 9 \frac{3}{5}$

Add the whole numbers:

$3 + 9 = 12$

Now add the fractions:

$\frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$

add both together:

$12 + \frac{6}{5} = 12 \frac{6}{5}$

$\frac{6}{5}$ is an improper fraction so change it:

$12 \frac{6}{5} = 13 \frac{1}{5}$

Since 6 is one more than 5, add 1 to the whole number and subtract the numerator and denominator(6 - 5 = 1) and make the remaining the new numerator. That leaves you with $13 \frac{1}{5}$

Your answer is $13 \frac{1}{5}$
