Problem

A bakery can bake 180 bagels in 10 hours. How many bagels can they bake in 19 hours? What is the rate per hour?

Result

The bakery can bake 342 bagels in 19 hours.

Solution

We're going to calculate the rate first, then we'll multiply by the number of hours.

Let's find the rate

180 : 10 = 18

Let's multiply the rate by the time

18 · 19 = 342

I believe it is 12*12
