Question

Baker ____ bakes fewer cookies per hour.

Answer 1

To find out which baker bakes fewer cookies per hour, let's calculate the number of cookies each baker bakes in one hour.

Baker 1: Baker 1 baked 1,200 cookies in 6 hours. To find the number of cookies she bakes per hour:

\[ \text{Cookies per hour} = \frac{1200 \text{ cookies}}{6 \text{ hours}} = 200 \text{ cookies per hour} \]

Baker 2: Baker 2 bakes 250 cookies each hour.

Now, we can compare the two:

• Baker 1 bakes 200 cookies per hour.
• Baker 2 bakes 250 cookies per hour.

Since 200 cookies per hour is less than 250 cookies per hour, we can conclude:

Baker 1 bakes fewer cookies per hour.
