Question

Joey Chestnut is trying to break his own world record for eating the most hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. He needs to eat more than 72 hot dogs to break his record. After 11 minute of competition, Joey has eaten 10 hot dogs. Joey wants to know the number of hot dogs per minute that he needs to eat for the next 9 minutes to break his own record.

Answer 1

He has 9 minutes to eat 62 hotdogs right? So divide 62 by 9 and you will get the number of hot dogs he needs to eat. You will get a decimal.

Answer 2

6.889 hot dogs per minute

Explanation:

Given that Joey Chestnut is trying to break his own world record for eating the most hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.

Buns to be eaten = 72

Time lapsed = 10

Buns remaining = 62

Time left = 9

No of hot dogs per minute that he needs to eat for the next 9 minutes to break his own record.

=
`(62)/(9) =6.889`
