    Zach can make 12 chocolate chip cookies in 18 minutes, how many cookies can he make in one hour (60 minutes)?

    Explanation
    Since Zach can make 12 cookies in 18 minutes, we can calculate his cookie-making rate by dividing the number of cookies by the time taken: 12 cookies / 18 minutes = 0.67 cookies per minute. To find out how many cookies he can make in 60 minutes, we multiply his cookie-making rate by the number of minutes: 0.67 cookies per minute * 60 minutes = 40 cookies. Therefore, Zach can make 40 cookies in one hour.

To find out how much it would cost Tim to buy 25 apples, we can multiply the cost of one apple (0.25 dollars) by the number of apples (25), which gives us 0.25 * 25 = 6.25 dollars. Therefore, it would cost Tim 6.25 dollars to buy 25 apples.
