Answer 1

For this problem we have the following info given:

Cups of coffee= 25 Glasses of orange juice= 10 Omelets= 6

We want to estimate how many glasses of orange juice does the restaurant expect to sell in 1 hour.

We know that the restaurant sell 10 glasses of orange juice every 15 min and we can create the following proportional rule since we know that in 1 hour we have 60 minutes.

$\frac{10glasses}{15\min utes}=\frac{x}{60\text{minutes}}$

Where x represent the number of glasses of orange juice in 60 minutes=1 hour. And if we solve for x we got:

$x=60\cdot\frac{10}{15}=40glasses$

And we can conclude that the restaurant expect 40 glasses of orange juice every 1hour=60 minutes.
