Answer:
640 bagels
Rate: 40bagels/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
If the baker's at a bakery can make 160 bagels in 4 hours, then;
160 bagels = 4 hours
To calculate the amount the baker can bake in 16hours, we can write;
x bagels = 16hours
Divide both expressions
160/x = 4/16
160/x = 1/4
Cross multiply
x* 1= 160 * 4
x = 640
Hence the baker can bake 640 bagels in 16hours
To know the rate per hour, we can write;
x bagel = 1hr
Recall that; 160bagels = 4 hours
Cross multiply
x * 4 = 1 * 160
4x = 160
x = 160/4
x = 40
Hence the rate per hour is 40bagels/hour
