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 = <<3+1=4>>4 hot wings per minute.
#### 4 | Solve the following math problem and explain your reasoning step by step. | 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? | 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 = <<3+1=4>>4 hot wings per minute.
