Ashley recently opened a store that sells only natural ingredients. She wants to advertise her products by distributing bags of samples in her neighborhood. It takes one person 222 minutes to prepare one bag. How many hours will it take to prepare 900900900 bags of samples if Ashley and 555 of her friends do the work?

It takes, 2, minutes to prepare one bag. If Ashley works alone, it will take her 900 bags× 2 minutes each =1800 minutes to prepare the bags.

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, that's the same as 1800/60 which equals to 30 hours. If there are 6 people sharing Ashley's work Ashley + 5 friends the work will be finished 6 times as fast.

A team of 6 people can finish the job 30/6 which equals 5
