Question

Help plz ..I don’t get this

Answer 1

It would be 1.4 cupcakes because 1.4 multiplied by 30 minutes would equal 42 cupcakes

Answer 2

Number of cakes decorated = 1.4 in a minute

Explanation:

A baker decorates 42 cupcakes in 30 minutes. If she decorates cupcakes at the constant rate then we have to find the number of cakes the baker can decorate in 1 minute.

We should always use the unitary method to calculate the outcome.

∵ A baker can decorate in 30 minutes = 42 cakes

∴ baker can decorate in 1 minute =
`(42)/(30)=1.4` cupcakes.

Therefore, 1.4 cakes per minute will be the answer.
