Boston makes 13 pizzas every 2 hours. How many hours would it take to make 182 pizzas?(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine how many hours it would take Boston to make 182 pizzas, we can set up a proportion based on the rate at which pizzas are made.

First, find the rate of pizza production:

• Boston makes 13 pizzas in 2 hours, which means the rate is:

  \[ \frac{13 \text{ pizzas}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 6.5 \text{ pizzas per hour} \]

Next, to find out how many hours it would take to make 182 pizzas, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Total pizzas}}{\text{Pizzas per hour}} \]

Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{182 \text{ pizzas}}{6.5 \text{ pizzas per hour}} \approx 28 \text{ hours} \]

Therefore, it would take approximately 28 hours to make 182 pizzas.
