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.
