Jessie competes in hot dog eating contests he can eat 32 hot dogs in 8 minutes. How many hot dogs can he eat in 12 mins?

The answer is: he can eat 48 hotdogs in 12 minutes. How? Well, first, to find the amount of hotdogs he can eat in 1 min. you have to divide 32 by 8, and obviously you get 4. Now you multiply 4 by 12 and you get your answer, which is 48. Good luck with your homework!

You must first find the unit rate by dividing 32 by 8.

That will give you 4 hot dogs per minute, or 4/1.

Now you must multiply both the numerator and denominator by 12.

That will give you 48 hot dogs per 12 minutes or 48/12
