To determine which baker bakes fewer cookies per hour, we can calculate the rate for each baker.
**Baker 1:**
- Total cookies baked = 1,200 cookies
- Total hours worked = 6 hours
To find the number of cookies Baker 1 bakes per hour:
\[
\text{Cookies per hour} = \frac{\text{Total cookies}}{\text{Total hours}} = \frac{1200 \text{ cookies}}{6 \text{ hours}} = 200 \text{ cookies per hour}
\]
**Baker 2:**
- Baker 2 bakes 250 cookies each hour.
Now we can compare the two rates:
- Baker 1: 200 cookies per hour
- Baker 2: 250 cookies per hour
Baker 1 bakes fewer cookies per hour than Baker 2.
So the answer is:
**Baker 1** bakes fewer cookies per hour.
