To find out how many cookies each baker bakes per hour, we can calculate the rate for each baker.
Baker 1: Baker 1 baked a total of 1,200 cookies in 6 hours. To find out how many cookies she bakes per hour, we divide the total number of cookies by the number of hours:
\[ \text{Cookies per hour} = \frac{1200 \text{ cookies}}{6 \text{ hours}} = 200 \text{ cookies/hour} \]
Baker 2: Baker 2 bakes 250 cookies each hour, so her rate is:
\[ \text{Cookies per hour} = 250 \text{ cookies/hour} \]
Now we can compare the two bakers:
- Baker 1: 200 cookies/hour
- Baker 2: 250 cookies/hour
Comparison: Baker 1 bakes 200 cookies per hour, while Baker 2 bakes 250 cookies per hour. Therefore, Baker 1 bakes fewer cookies per hour than Baker 2.
