To calculate how many hot dogs Dwayne can eat in a given time, we can use the rate at which he eats, which is 11 hot dogs per minute.
1. **In 5 minutes:**
\[
\text{Hot dogs eaten} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} = 11 \, \text{hot dogs/min} \times 5 \, \text{min} = 55 \, \text{hot dogs}
\]
2. **In 9 minutes:**
\[
\text{Hot dogs eaten} = 11 \, \text{hot dogs/min} \times 9 \, \text{min} = 99 \, \text{hot dogs}
\]
So, in 5 minutes, Dwayne can eat 55 hot dogs, and in 9 minutes, he can eat 99 hot dogs.
The correct response from the provided options is **55; 99**.
1. **In 5 minutes:**
\[
\text{Hot dogs eaten} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} = 11 \, \text{hot dogs/min} \times 5 \, \text{min} = 55 \, \text{hot dogs}
\]
2. **In 9 minutes:**
\[
\text{Hot dogs eaten} = 11 \, \text{hot dogs/min} \times 9 \, \text{min} = 99 \, \text{hot dogs}

So, in 5 minutes, Dwayne can eat 55 hot dogs, and in 9 minutes, he can eat 99 hot dogs.
The correct response from the provided options is **55; 99**.
