  4. !3 1/2 minutes. If each kid eats 9 cupcakes and it takes 1 1/2 minutes it'd be 13 1/2 min.

  5. 18 divided by 2 is 9.5. 1.5 min to eat cc. That equals 13.5 min.

  6. sorry that was wrong!! 18 divided by 2 is 9. Then it would take 1.5 min to eat cc. So that equals 13.5 min.

  7. 13.5 minutes because if you take 4+4+4+4+2=18
    3+3+3+3+1 1/2=13 1/2

  10. The answer is 13 and a half min. because it takes them 3 minuets to eat 4 and 4x4 =16 +2=18 so all you have to do is add 3 min. for every four cupcakes so then just add 1 min. 30 sec. because of the two instead at the end and you get 13 and a half.
