Question

Mika can eat 21 hot dogs in 6 minutes. She wants to know how many minutes ( m ) it would take her to eat 35 hot dogs if she can keep up the same pace. How many minutes would Mika need to eat 35 hot dogs?

Answer 1

`(21)/(6) = (35)/(m) = 10minutes`
Use proportions set up as hotdogs to minutes, then cross multiple 21×m =21m and 6×35 =210 divide by 21 gives you 10 minutes. It would take Mika 10 minutes to eat 35 hot dogs.
