Here's your shmoopy question du jour...

00:06

Each morning, Beanstalk Bakery is able to churn out a dozen people fritters every 15 minutes.

00:12

How many fritters are made during the typical breakfast hours between 6 am and 11:30 am at this bakery?

00:19

And here are the potential answers...

00:21

Before we spoil the ending, hit pause and try it yourself.

00:25

So this question is asking us to segment hours into sub sections and apply them as part of

00:30

a rate problem. If we think through the question...

00:34

...the fritters start coming out of the oven at 6 am and continue for 1... 2... 3... 4...5 and a half hours.

00:41

Or, in decimalese... 5.5 hours.

00:45

There are four 15-minute segments in an hour, so we multiply 5.5 by 4 to get 22.

00:52

There are 12 fritters per 15 minute segment...

00:55

...so we multiply that 12 by the 22 segments to get 264 fritters.

01:00

Our answer is C.

01:01

The moral of this story? Never leave your breakfast unattended.
