The answer is 2 rooms because you do 17.5 divided by 8.75 and you get 2

Answer: First option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of rooms = 17.5

Time taken to clean = 8.75 hours

We need to find the number of rooms he clean per hour.

So, the number of rooms per hour is given by


(17.5)/(8.75)\\\\=2

Hence, there are 2 rooms that he clean per hour.

Therefore, First option is correct.
