Hey, I'm assuming you mean five refrigerators every eight hours. So . . .

1250 divide by 5. Which gives you 250.

Then take that 250 and multiply it by 8, and you have 2000.

So it would take 2000 hrs for a factory, that can produce 5 refrigerators every eight hours to, produce 1250 refrigerators.

Answer: If you wanted to say five instead of fifth, then the company makes 5 refrigerators in 8 hours.

this means that the factory makes 5/8 refrigerators per hour.

if you want to do 1250 refrigerators, you divide this number by the rate and you get:


(1250 refrigerators)/((5refrigerators)/(8hours) ) =2000hours

so the factory needs 2000 hours to make 1250 refrigerators.
