Question

Help me! I am confused

Answer 1

we know the workers can unpack 48 books in 2 minutes, so how many minutes for 200?


`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} books&minutes\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 48&2\\ 200&m \end{array}\implies \cfrac{48}{200}=\cfrac{2}{m}\implies m=\cfrac{200\cdot 2}{48} \\\\\\ m=\cfrac{25}{3}\implies m=8(1)/(3)\impliedby \textit{8 minutes and 20 seconds}`
