Question

a team of artists can print 38 t-shirts in an hour. they want to make 95 t-shirts to sell at a concertthis weekend what equation can you write and solve to find out how long it will take the team to make the shirts

Answer 1

Set up a ratio: 38 shirts in 1 hour is to 95 shirts in x hours.

x= time in hours to print 95 shirts


38/1= 95/x
cross multiply

(38*x)= (1*95)

38x= 95
divide both sides by 38

x= 2 1/2 hours


ANSWER: It will take 2 1/2 hours to print 95 shirts.

Hope this helps! :)
