Dishwasher Rate
Problem: A dishwasher cleans 1350 dishes in 1 hour. How many dishes will it wash in 16 more minutes?
1. Find the washing rate in dishes per minute.
We convert 1 hour to minutes.
$1\text{ hour }= 60\text{ minutes}$
We compute the rate by dividing total dishes by total minutes.
$$1350 \div 60 = 22.5$$
So the rate is $22.5$ dishes per minute.
2. Compute the number of dishes washed in 16 minutes.
Multiply the rate by 16 minutes to find the output in that time.
$$22.5 \times 16 = 360$$
Thus the dishwasher washes $360$ dishes in 16 minutes.
3. Final answer.
Therefore the dishwasher will wash $360$ dishes in 16 minutes.
