Test yourself with this Pumpking Pie eating math problem.
Can You Figure It Out?
If two people eat three pumpkin pies in two minutes. How many pumpkin pies can six people eat in two minutes?
Answer:
Nine Pumpkin Pies
Explanation:
If two people eat three pumpkin pies in two minutes, each person is eating 1.5 pumpkin pies in two minutes (3 pumpkin pies / 2 people= 1.5 pumpkin pies). So then in two minutes, six people would eat 1.5 pumpkin pies each and would eat nine pumpkin pies total (6 people x 1.5 pumpkin pies = 9 pumpkin pies).
3 pumpkin pies / 2 people = 1.5 pumpkin pies 6 people x 1.5 pumpkin pies = 9 pumpkin pies
