The bakers at Healthy Bakery can make 220 bagels in 2 hours. How many bagels can they bake in 17 hours? What was that rate per hour?
To find the number of bagels that can be baked in 17 hours, we can first determine the hourly rate at which the bakers at Healthy Bakery can bake bagels.
Given that they can make 220 bagels in 2 hours, we can use the following proportion to find the hourly rate:
220 bagels / 2 hours = X bagels / 1 hour
To solve for X (the number of bagels that can be baked in 1 hour), we can cross-multiply:
220 bagels * 1 hour = 2 hours * X bagels
220 = 2X
To isolate X, we divide both sides of the equation by 2:
X = 220 / 2
X = 110
Therefore, the bakers at Healthy Bakery can bake 110 bagels per hour.
To calculate the number of bagels that can be baked in 17 hours, we can multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours:
Number of bagels = Hourly rate * Number of hours
Number of bagels = 110 bagels/hour * 17 hours
Number of bagels = 1870 bagels
Therefore, the bakers at Healthy Bakery can bake 1870 bagels in 17 hours.
The rate per hour is 110 bagels per hour.
220/2 = x/17
220bagels/2hours = 220/2 = 110 bagels/hr
