    696 qt in 12 hours

    1392 qt per day

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use a proportion.

    (290 qt) / (5 hr) = (x) / (12 hr)

    5x = 290 * 12

    5x = 3480

    x = 696

    Answer: 696 qt in 12 hours

    A day has 24 hours, 696 * 2 = 1392

    Answer: 1392 qt per day

    You would use a proportion to answer both questions.

    First we set up a ratio of 100 quarts:5 hours since that is a given ratio. Since hours was in the denominator of the ratio before, we place the 36 in the denominator of the other ratio, x quarts: 36 hours.

    Setting them equal gives the following proportion:

    100/5=x/36

    Cross multiply to solve:

    5x=3600

    x=720

    They can make 720 quarts in 36 hours.

    For the second part, we use similar reasoning. Remember 1 day = 24 hours.

    100/5 = x/24

    5x = 2400

    x=480

    They can make 480 quarts per day.

    just substitute values to find answer
