Lizzy: Kevin holds the world record for eating the biggest quantity of hot wings in 8 minutes. He can eat 64 wings without stopping. Alan, a boy who loves hot wings, wants to beat Kevin's record. He is currently able to eat 5 hot wings per minute. How many more wings must he eat per minute to beat Kevin's record?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
Knowing Kevin's record of eating 70 wings in 8 minutes or 64 / 8 = 8 wings in a minute. Alan must increase his ability to eat 5 wings per minute to 8 - 5 = 3 wings per minute to equal Kevin's world record. To beat Kevin, Alan must eat 3 + 1 = 4 hot wings per minute. Final answer: 4.
