Question

Machine A makes 12.75 ounces of popcorn in 3 minutes. Machine B makes 18 ounces of popcorn in 4 minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes there will be enough popcorn for eight 9-ounce bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

" eight 9-ounce bags"

Basically

"72 ounces"

"12.75 ounces of popcorn in 3 minutes"

Basically

We need to find out how much popcorn we can make in "One Minute"

12.75÷3=4.25

Now we need to find out how much it can make in "Ten Minutes"

4.25×10=42.5

"18 ounces of popcorn in 4 minutes."

Basically:

We wanna find out how much it can make in "One Minute"

18÷4=4.5

"makes popcorn for 10 minutes"

Basically:

We need to find out how much popcorn it can make in "Ten Minutes"

4.5×10=45

Add (45) and (42.5)

45+42.5=87.5

So yes,there will be enough popcorn for eight 9-ounce bangs due to the fact A and B makes (87.5) ounces of popcorn and thats greater than (72) ounces.

Answer option C is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

yes if each machine makes popcorn for 10 minutes, there be enough popcorn for eight 9-ounce bags

Step-by-step explanation:

yes because 12.74 x 3.3 = 42.075 and 18 x 2.5 = 45 and when you add those together you get 87. Also 8  9-ounce bags = 72 and that is less then what you have.
