To find out how many hours it would take to make 182 pizzas, we first need to determine the rate at which Boston makes pizzas.
Boston makes 13 pizzas every 2 hours, which gives us a rate of:
\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{13 \text{ pizzas}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 6.5 \text{ pizzas per hour} \]
Next, we need to find out how many hours it will take to make 182 pizzas at this rate. We can use the formula:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Number of Pizzas}}{\text{Rate}} \]
Substituting in the known values:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{182 \text{ pizzas}}{6.5 \text{ pizzas/hour}} \]
Now, we can calculate the time:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{182}{6.5} \approx 28 \]
Therefore, it would take Boston approximately 28 hours to make 182 pizzas.
