loves to make waffles for breakfast. Normally, it takes him 9 minutes to make 3 waffles. He had some friends sleep over last night, and he wants to make 10 waffles this morning

Question

if the waffles cook at the same rate,how many minutes will he take to make waffles this morning

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take him to make 10 waffles, we first determine the time it takes to make 1 waffle.

He takes 9 minutes to make 3 waffles, so the time per waffle is:

\[ \text{Time per waffle} = \frac{9 \text{ minutes}}{3 \text{ waffles}} = 3 \text{ minutes per waffle} \]

Now, to find the time to make 10 waffles, we multiply the time per waffle by the number of waffles:

\[ \text{Time for 10 waffles} = 10 \text{ waffles} \times 3 \text{ minutes per waffle} = 30 \text{ minutes} \]

Thus, it will take him 30 minutes to make 10 waffles.
