If 6 teenagers eat 15 pies in 2.5 hours. How many pies one teenager eat in 2 hours
2 pies
correct
To find out how many pies one teenager can eat in 2 hours, we can start by calculating how many pies are eaten per hour by all six teenagers.
Since they eat 15 pies in 2.5 hours, we can calculate the rate at which they are eating pies using the formula:
Pies per hour = Total pies / Total hours
Pies per hour = 15 pies / 2.5 hours
Pies per hour = 6 pies per hour
Now that we know the rate at which they are eating pies, we can calculate how many pies one teenager can eat in 1 hour:
Pies per teenager per hour = Pies per hour / Number of teenagers
Pies per teenager per hour = 6 pies per hour / 6 teenagers
Pies per teenager per hour = 1 pie per hour
Therefore, we can conclude that one teenager can eat 1 pie in 1 hour.
To find out how many pies one teenager can eat in 2 hours, we simply multiply the rate by the number of hours:
Pies per teenager in 2 hours = Pies per teenager per hour * Number of hours
Pies per teenager in 2 hours = 1 pie per hour * 2 hours
Pies per teenager in 2 hours = 2 pies
So, one teenager can eat 2 pies in 2 hours.
