Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookie Math

Hello. My name is Adam and I’m studying word problems. Today I’m going to show you how math can help you in real life.  This is also why I made these problems. Now here are some examples.

PROBLEM # 1       Q. Fred wants to bake Peanut Butter-Pretzel Cookies for his party. He wants to have to start baking as late as possible. One batch makes 48 cookies and takes 30 minutes to cook. If the party is at 2:30 and 240 people are coming to his party and each person will want one cookie, what time does he have to start cooking?

PROBLEM # 2     Q. Grace loves Peanut Butter-Pretzel Cookies. If she sees her sister add 14 cups of crushed mini pretzels, and there are 2 cups of crushed mini pretzels in one batch, how many batches is she making?

Comment with your answer. We'll be back with the answers later.
