    They would have eaten the same amount in 4 minutes

    They wuld have eaten 16 cookies in 4 minutes

    Explanation:

    To solve this probem lets turn Jorge and Emmanuel into an equation

    Let m = minutes

    Jorger = 2 cookies per minute = 2m

    He has eaten 8 cookies already so lets add 2m to 8 = 2m + 8

    Emmanuel on the have eats 4 cookies per minute = 4m

    Jorge = 2m + 8 = total number of cookies eaten in m minutes

    Emmanuel = 4m = total number of cookies eaten in m minutes

    To know both when the would have eaten the samd amount and the amount of cookies they have eaten the equation must be equal to each other

    2m+8 = 4m

    Lets solve like terms together

    We need to remove 2m from both sides

    2m+8-2m = 4m-2m

    8 = 2m

    Making m the subject of the equation by dividing each side by 2

    8/2 = 2m/2

    4=m

    So m=4

    Back to jorge and emmanuel equation since m is 4 meaning m is 4 minutes

    2m+8 = 2*4+8 = 16

    4m = 4*4 = 16

    They have eaten 16 cookies each in 4 minutes

    Answer: They will have eaten the same amount when 4 minutes passed.

    Each one will eat 16 cookies.

    Explanation:

    Hi to answer this question we have to write an equation for the number of cookies that each one eats:

    Jorge = 2m + 8

    Where m = minutes

    Emmanuel = 4 m

    If they eat the same amount:

    2 m + 8 = 4 m

    8 = 4m - m

    8 = 2m

    8/2 = m

    4 = m

    They will have eaten the same amount when 4 minutes passed.

    To know the number of cookies eaten.

    Jorge = 2m + 8 = 2 (4) + 8 = 16

    Emmanuel = 4 m = 4 (4) = 16

    Each one will eat 16 cookies.
