Compare the two statements;
250 bagels=10 hours
Y=12 hours
I represented the unknown with Y. Cross and multiply. Y will multiply 10 to give 10Y and 12 will multiply 250 to give 3000. That will be;
10Y=3000
Divide both sides by 10. You will have;
Y=3000/10
Y=300
300 bagels will be made in 12 hours
To get the number of bagels per hour, divide the number of bagels by the number of hours. That will be;
300/12=25
OR
250/10=25
Hope that helped. Have a nice day
