Question

Mac hine A pops 12,75 ounces of popcorn in 3 minutes. Machine B pops 18 ounces of popcorn in 4minutes. If each machine pops popcorn for 10 minutes, will there be enough popcorn for eight 9-ounce bags?

Answer 1

yes. Machine A pops 42.5 ounces of popcorn in 10 minutes. Machine B pops 45 ounces of popcorn in 10 minutes. Add the two to get 87.5 ounces. 8 times 9 is 72 which is less than 87.5 ounces
