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.
