A bread factory produces 600 loaves of bread every hour. By 6 a.m., the factory had already produced 1,200 loaves.

How many loaves of bread will the factory have produced by noon?

To solve this, we need to calculate how many additional loaves of bread the factory will produce between 6 a.m. and noon.

### Step 1: Determine the time interval
From 6 a.m. to noon is a period of 6 hours.

### Step 2: Calculate the loaves produced in 6 hours
The factory produces 600 loaves per hour, so in 6 hours:

\[
600 \times 6 = 3,600 \text{ loaves}
\]

### Step 3: Add the initial production
By 6 a.m., the factory had already produced 1,200 loaves. So, the total number of loaves produced by noon is:

\[
3,600 + 1,200 = 4,800 \text{ loaves}
\]

Thus, the factory will have produced **4,800 loaves** of bread by noon.

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
1. If the factory started production at 4 a.m. instead of 6 a.m., how many loaves would it produce by noon?
2. How many loaves does the factory produce in 30 minutes?
3. If the factory increases its production rate to 700 loaves per hour, how many loaves will be produced by noon?
4. If the factory stops production at 10 a.m., how many loaves will it have produced by that time?
5. How many hours will it take for the factory to produce 10,000 loaves?

**Tip:** When solving problems involving time and rates, always check that the units of time match (hours, minutes, etc.) and convert them if necessary.

A bread factory produces 600 loaves of bread every hour. By 6 a.m., the factory had already produced 1,200 loaves. How many loaves of bread will the factory have produced by noon?

Find out how many loaves of bread a factory will produce by noon, starting from 6 a.m. with an initial 1,200 loaves. This problem involves multiplying time and rate, plus addition, and is ideal for students in Grades 5-7.
