Given the statement:

It takes Charlie 76 seconds of chewing gum to chew one tootsie roll. The mass of a tootsie roll is 11.2 grams.

Determine how many minutes would it take to eat 1 kg of tootsie rolls.

Solution:

In order to determine the minutes it would take to chew 1 kg of tootsie rolls, we divide 1000 grams or 1kg by 11.2, then we multiply its quotient by 76 seconds.

1 kg = 1000 grams

= 1000 grams/11.2

= 89.29

= (89.29)(76)

= 7685.7 seconds or 128 minutes.

Final answer:

In seconds= 7685.7 seconds 
In minutes = 128 minutes
In hours = 2.26 hours
