She cut 13 wings in 30 seconds. How many can she cut in 7 minutes.

Question

Helping my nephew with his homework. The teacher came up with 182. We are trying to figure out how he came up with that answer.

Answer 1

She cuts 13 wings in 30 seconds, how many wings can she cut in 7 minutes?

30 seconds (2) = 60 seconds = 1 minute

13 wings (2) = 26 wings in 60 seconds

How many seconds in 7 minutes?

7 minutes (60 seconds/minute) = 420 seconds

Set up the equation as a ratio

26 wings : 60 seconds :: x : 420 seconds

26 wings x 420 seconds = 10,920 divided by 60 seconds

x = 182 wings in 7 minutes
