Question

1. adrian decorated 16 cupcakes in 28 minutes. if he continues at this pace, how many minutes will it take him to decorate 56 cupcakes?

Explanation:

Step1: Find the time per cupcake

First, we find out how many minutes it takes Adrian to decorate one cupcake. He decorated 16 cupcakes in 28 minutes, so the time per cupcake is $\frac{28}{16}$ minutes.

Step2: Calculate time for 56 cupcakes

To find the time to decorate 56 cupcakes, we multiply the time per cupcake by 56. So we have $\frac{28}{16} \times 56$. Simplify $\frac{28}{16}$ to $\frac{7}{4}$, then $\frac{7}{4} \times 56 = 7 \times 14 = 98$.

Answer:

98 minutes
