Answer 5

i think so.

Answer 6

ok then she needs to make 144 cupcakes

Answer 7

yeah, and...then the first time I got 5 hours.

Answer 8

to find the cupcakes per minute what would you do?

Answer 9

divide, 160 by 48?

Answer 10

@sleepyjess

Answer 11

per minute you would do 48 (cupcakes and hour)/60 (minutes in an hour)

Answer 12

16+48h=160 is equation you need
start by subtracting 16 to get 48h=144
now divide 48 to get h=3

Answer 13

and just so you know i am probably doing this the hard way

Answer 14

h is hours
