Answer: Yes, there are enough popcorn for eight 9- ounce bags.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
From Machine A,
Amount of popcorn in 3 minutes = 12.75
Amount of popcorn in 1 minute is given by
[tex]\frac{12.75}{3}=4.25\text{ ounces}[/tex]
Amount of popcorn in 10 minutes is given by
[tex]4.25\times 10=42.5\text{ ounces }[/tex]
From Machine B,
Amount of popcorn in 4 minutes = 18 ounces
Amount of popcorn in 1 minute is given by
[tex]\frac{18}{4}=4.5\text{ ounces}[/tex]
Amount of popcorn in 10 minutes is given by
[tex]4.5\times 10=45\text{ ounces }[/tex]
Total amount of popcorn is given by
[tex]42.5+45=87.5\text{ ounces}[/tex]
Now, there are eight 9-ounce bags means 72 ounces
Since 87.5 ounces is greater than 72 ounces .
So, there are enough for eight 9-ounce bags.
