Please Help..Chris entered a hot dog eating contest. The table shows how many hot dogs remained in his tray at different times.

How many hot dogs did Chris eat per minute? Enter the answer as a decimal.



Chris’s Contest
Minutes                   2  4   6   8
Hot dogs remaining 49 38 27 16

Sagot :

2nd minute - 49 hotdogs
4th minute - 38 hotdogs (49 - 38 = 11 hotdogs less)
6th minute - 27 hotdogs (38 - 27 = 11 hotdogs less)
8th minute - 16 hotdogs (27 - 16 = 11 hotdogs less)

As we can see, Chris ate 11 hotdogs in each 2 minutes, so in one minute he ate 11 ÷ 2 = 5.5 hotdogs. It also shows us that he probably began with 60 hotdogs.
