Answer:

It will take 7.8 hours to print designs on 1300 shirts

Explanation:

We will use the ratio method to solve this question

∵ A machine prints designs on T-shirts

∵ It prints 500 shirts in 3 hours

∵ x is the number of hours to print 1300 shirts

→ By using the ratio method

→ shirts : hours

→ 500 : 3

→ 1300 : x

→ By using cross multiplication

500 × x = 1300 × 3

∴ 500x = 3900

→ Divide both sides by 500

∴ x = 7.8

It will take 7.8 hours to print designs on 1300 shirts
