Answer 1

To calculate how many hot dogs Dwayne can eat in a given time, we can use the fact that he eats at a rate of 11 hot dogs per minute.

1. In 5 minutes: $$\text{Hot dogs eaten}=11,\text{hot dogs/min}\times 5,\text{min}=55,\text{hot dogs}$$

2. In 9 minutes: $$\text{Hot dogs eaten}=11,\text{hot dogs/min}\times 9,\text{min}=99,\text{hot dogs}$$

So the answer is 55 hot dogs in 5 minutes and 99 hot dogs in 9 minutes. The correct response is:

55; 99
