Answer:
Machine A makes popcorn at a rate of 4.25 ozs per minute (12.75oz/3min).
Machine B makes popcorn at a rate of 4.5 ozs per minute (18oz/4min).
Machine A will make 4.25oz/min * 10minutes = 42.5oz of popcorn after 10 minutes
Machine B will make 4.5oz/min * 10 minutes = 45oz of popcorn after 10 minutes
After 10 minutes there will be a total of 42.5oz (Machine A) +45oz (Machine B) = 87.5oz.
So the answer is: Yes there will be (more than) enough popcorn if both machines make popcorn for 10 minutes. Â
If the question is wondering how many 9oz bags they can fill: 87.5oz/9oz per bag = 9.7222 bags. The machines can fill 9, 9oz, bags with some popcorn leftover.
Step-by-step explanation:
Machine A makes popcorn at a rate of 4.25 ozs per minute (12.75oz/3min).
Machine B makes popcorn at a rate of 4.5 ozs per minute (18oz/4min).
Machine A will make 4.25oz/min * 10minutes = 42.5oz of popcorn after 10 minutes
Machine B will make 4.5oz/min * 10 minutes = 45oz of popcorn after 10 minutes
After 10 minutes there will be a total of 42.5oz (Machine A) +45oz (Machine B) = 87.5oz.
So the answer is: Yes there will be (more than) enough popcorn if both machines make popcorn for 10 minutes. Â
If the question is wondering how many 9oz bags they can fill: 87.5oz/9oz per bag = 9.7222 bags. The machines can fill 9, 9oz, bags with some popcorn leftover.
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 12.75 by 3 to get the amount Machine A makes in 1 minute, 4.25 ounces.
Divide 18 by 4 to get the amount Machine B makes in 1 minute, 4.5 ounces
Multiply 4.25 by 10 for a total from Machine A, 42.5 ounces.
Multiply 4.5 by 10 for a total from Machine B, 45 ounces.
Add 42.5 to 45 totalling 87.5
Eight 9-ounce bags require 72 ounces of popcorn. So if both Machines made a total of 87.5 ounces they would have enough popcorn.
