Answer 2

Number of cans collected by Joy in 1 hour is 47.833 approx 48 cans.

Solution:

Number of aluminum cans collected by Joy = 287

number of hours taken to collect all cans = 6 hours

Need to find number of cans collected by Joy in 1 hour

From given information, it can be said that

In 6 hours number of cans collected = 287

so in 1 hour number of cans collected = 287/6 = 47.833 approx equal to 48 cans

Hence number of cans collected by Joy in 1 hour is 47.833 approx 48 cans.
