To determine which baker bakes fewer cookies per hour, we need to calculate the hourly baking rate for both bakers.

Baker 1:

  • Total cookies baked: 1,200
  • Total hours worked: 6

Hourly rate for Baker 1: \[ \text{Hourly rate} = \frac{\text{Total cookies}}{\text{Total hours}} = \frac{1200}{6} = 200 \text{ cookies per hour} \]

Baker 2:

  • Bakes 250 cookies per hour (as given).

Now we can compare the two baking rates:

  • Baker 1: 200 cookies per hour
  • Baker 2: 250 cookies per hour

Since 200 cookies per hour is less than 250 cookies per hour, we conclude:

Baker 1 bakes fewer cookies per hour.
