Mary eats 10 donuts in the first 2 minutes as she tries to tie Jerry's record. Let r be the average number of donuts Mary needs to eat in the remaining time in order to tie or beat Jerry. The first record set in 2009 was 58 donuts. If Mary maintains the beginning pace for the entire 10 minutes would she tie, break or fall short of the record? Explain and show your work.
10 donuts/2 minutes = 5 donuts/1 minute
10 minutes * 5 donuts/1 minute = 50 donuts
She would fall short of the record
