Answer :
An ice cream factory that makes 100 quarts in 5 hours would produce 720 quarts in 36 hours at a rate of 20 quarts per hour. The daily production rate would be 480 quarts.
The question asks us to calculate the amount of ice cream produced in a different number of hours, based on a given rate, and to determine the rate per day. If the factory makes 100 quarts in 5 hours, the rate of production is 20 quarts per hour (100 quarts / 5 hours). To find out how much could be made in 36 hours, we simply multiply the hourly rate by 36:
- 20 quarts/hour times 36 hours = 720 quarts.
To determine the rate per day, we assume a day is 24 hours long. Thus, we multiply the hourly rate by 24:
- 20 quarts/hour times 24 hours = 480 quarts per day.
