16 kilos of dough



Explanation:
• 10 kilos of dough divided by the 5 working hours equals 2

- 10 ÷ 5 = 2

• 2 x 8 = 16

1) First let's find the ratio or how many kilograms of dough Herman can prepare per hour

  • 10/5 = 2/1
  • What does this mean? It means that every hour Herman is able to prepare 2 kilograms of dough.

2) Now let's create an equation:

  • y=2x
  • y=kilograms of dough
  • 2=kilograms of dough per hour
  • x=hours

3) Lets use the equation!

  • y=2(8)
  • y=16

Answer: Herman will prepare 16 kilograms of dough in 8 hours.
