To determine which baker bakes fewer cookies per hour, we can calculate the number of cookies each baker bakes per hour.
Baker 1: Baker 1 baked a total of 1,200 cookies in 6 hours. To find the number of cookies per hour, we divide the total number of cookies by the total number of hours:
\[ \text{Cookies per hour} = \frac{1200 \text{ cookies}}{6 \text{ hours}} = 200 \text{ cookies per hour} \]
Baker 2: Baker 2 bakes 250 cookies each hour.
Now we can compare the two rates:
- Baker 1: 200 cookies per hour
- Baker 2: 250 cookies per hour
Comparison: Baker 1 bakes fewer cookies per hour than Baker 2, as 200 cookies/hour (Baker 1) is less than 250 cookies/hour (Baker 2).
Thus, Baker 1 bakes fewer cookies per hour.
