Question

The bakers at healthy bakery can make 320 bagels in 10 hours. How many bagels can they make in 15 hours? What was the rate per hour?

Answer 1

480 bagels

Explanation:

320 bagels in 10 hours.

⇒ 320 bagels = 10 hours

Divide 10 both sides to find the rate per hour:

⇒ 320/10 bagels = 10/10 hours

⇒ 32 bagels = 1 hours

Multiply 15 both sides to find the number of bagels in 15 hours

⇒ 32 bagels = 1 hours

⇒ 32 x 15 bagels = 1 x 15 hours

⇒ 480 bagels = 15 hours

Answer 2

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨`

Let's use Unitary method ~

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:10 \:hr = 320 \: bagels`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 1\: hr = (320 / 10) \: bagels`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:1 \: hr = 32 \: bagels`

So, the rate per hour is 32 bagels ~

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:15 \: hr = (15 * 32) \: bagels`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:15 \: hr = 480\: bagels`

So, they can prepare 480 bagels in 15 hours
