To determine how many hours it would take Boston to make 182 pizzas, we can set up a proportion based on the rate at which pizzas are made.
First, find the rate of pizza production:
-
Boston makes 13 pizzas in 2 hours, which means the rate is:
\[ \frac{13 \text{ pizzas}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 6.5 \text{ pizzas per hour} \]
Next, to find out how many hours it would take to make 182 pizzas, we can use the formula:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Total pizzas}}{\text{Pizzas per hour}} \]
Plugging in the values:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{182 \text{ pizzas}}{6.5 \text{ pizzas per hour}} \approx 28 \text{ hours} \]
Therefore, it would take approximately 28 hours to make 182 pizzas.
