Question

Lia prepared 35 kilograms of dough after working 7 hours. How much dough did Lia prepare if she worked for 9 hours?

Just write the number for your answer please.

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to use the fact that Lia's rate of preparing dough is constant. We can set up a proportion to find out how much dough she would prepare if she worked for 9 hours:

Rate of preparing dough = Amount of dough prepared / Time worked

Let x be the amount of dough Lia prepares if she works for 9 hours. Then, we can set up the proportion:

35 kg / 7 hours = x kg / 9 hours

Cross-multiplying, we get:

7x = 35 * 9

Simplifying, we get:

7x = 315

Dividing both sides by 7, we get:

x = 45

Therefore, if Lia works for 9 hours, she will prepare 45 kilograms of dough.

Answer 2

We can use the proportion method to solve this problem.

Let's define the rate of dough preparation as the amount of dough Lia can prepare per hour. We can write:

rate = amount of dough / time

We are given that Lia prepared 35 kg of dough in 7 hours. We can use this information to find her rate of dough preparation:

rate = 35 kg / 7 hours = 5 kg/hour

Now we can use this rate to find how much dough Lia will prepare if she works for 9 hours:

amount of dough = rate x time

amount of dough = 5 kg/hour x 9 hours = 45 kg

Therefore, if Lia works for 9 hours, she will prepare 45 kilograms of dough.
