    First we set up a ratio of 100 quarts:5 hours since that is a given ratio. Since hours was in the denominator of the ratio before, we place the 36 in the denominator of the other ratio, x quarts: 36 hours.

    Setting them equal gives the following proportion:

    100/5=x/36

    Cross multiply to solve:

    5x=3600

    x=720

    They can make 720 quarts in 36 hours.

    For the second part, we use similar reasoning. Remember 1 day = 24 hours.

    100/5 = x/24

    5x = 2400

    x=480

    They can make 480 quarts per day.

    he makes 40 in 2 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    if he makes 100 in 5 hours then to find how much he makes in 1 hour you must divide the sum by 5 then multiply by 2

    100:5=20

    20x2=40
