A bakery makes 160 muffins every 4 hours. At this rate, how many hours will it take the bakery to make 1,280 muffins?

Answer 1

To determine how many hours it will take the bakery to make 1,280 muffins at the rate of 160 muffins every 4 hours, we can follow these steps:

1. Find the rate of muffins per hour: $$\text{Rate}=\frac{160\text{ muffins}}{4\text{ hours}}=40\text{ muffins per hour}$$

2. Calculate how many hours are needed to make 1,280 muffins: $$\text{Time}=\frac{1,280\text{ muffins}}{40\text{ muffins per hour}}=32\text{ hours}$$

Thus, it will take the bakery 32 hours to make 1,280 muffins.
