Each of Hashim's comedy shows lasts for 75 minutes. He tells an average of 8 jokes every minute.How many of Hashim's comedy shows does one need to watch to hear 2400 jokes?

8*75=600

(so he tells 600 jokes per show)

2400/600= 4

The person would have to go to 4 shows

Answer:

4 shows.

Explanation:

Hashim's comedy show lasts = 75 minutes.

he tells an average of 8 jokes every minutes.

Hashim tells jokes in each show = 75 × 8 = 600 jokes

If one need to hear 2400 jokes, he would have watch =
(2400)/(600)

= 4 shows

Hashim will tell 2400 jokes in 4 shows.
