Question

Jamie can package 28 books for shipment in two hours. How many can he package in 5 hours

Answer 1

If Jamie can package 28 books for shipment in two hours, then she can package 14 books in one hour, because 28 books / 2 hours = 14 books.

So, in 5 hours, she can package 70, because 14 books x 5 hours = 70 books.

So the answer would be 70 books.

Answer 2

First figure out how many books she can package in 1 hour.

28 / 2 = 14

So, she can package 14 books per hour. Now, multiply 14 by 5 to find your answer.

14 * 5 = 70

Jamie can package 70 books in 5 hours.

Hope this helps you!
