you are assembling desserts with a friend together you can make 12 desserts in 5 minutes. how many can you make in 20 minutes?

1 answer:

3 0

You can solve this in two ways.

First way:
Let’s find out how many my friend makes in one minute.
12/5=2.4
He makes 2.4 in one minute. Let’s multiply that by 20 to find what he makes in 20 minutes.
2.4•20=48
My friend made 48 desserts.

Second way:
Let’s make a ratio.
12 desserts:5 minutes
X desserts: 20 minutes
Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other. Since you are multiplying the minutes by 4, you have to multiply the desserts by 4.
12•4=48

So, my friend made 48 desserts.
Tell me if this helps!!!
