1 answer

To find the number of cupcakes sold in 16 hours, we can set up a proportion:

12 cupcakes / 8 hours = x cupcakes / 16 hours

Cross-multiplying, we get:

8 hours * x cupcakes = 12 cupcakes * 16 hours

8x = 192

Dividing both sides by 8:

x = 24

Therefore, the soccer team sold 24 cupcakes in 16 hours. So the answer is 24.
