Jeffrey Stokes · Answer 1

Joey needs to eat 7 hot dogs per minute to break his own record in next 9 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joey needs more than 72 hot dogs in 10 minutes to break his own record. That means Joey needs to eat at least 73 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

After 1 minute Joey has eaten = 10 hot dogs.

In remaining 9 minutes balance hot dogs = 73-10 = 63

Therefore per minute hot dogs to be eaten = 63/9 = 7

So answer is 7 hot dogs per minute to be eaten.
