A restaurant uses 290 pounds of onions every 2 and a half weeks. If they continue to use onions at the same rate, how many pounds of onions will they use in 6 weeks?
To find the rate of one week, we divide the amount of onions used with every week: 290/2.5 = 116 Now that we have a single rate, we find the amount for 6 weeks: 116*6 = 696 696 pounds are used in 6 weeks
