Given

Joshira can create 1 item in 3/4 of an hour.

To find:

How many items can she create in 8 hours?

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Joshira can create 1 item in 3/4 of an hour.

That implies,


\begin{gathered} Number\text{ }of\text{ }items\text{ }created\text{ }in\text{ }(3)/(4)\text{ }hour=1 \\ Number\text{ }of\text{ }items\text{ }created\text{ }in\text{ }1\text{ }hour=1/((3)/(4)) \\ =1*(4)/(3) \\ =(4)/(3) \end{gathered}

Therefore, number of items created in 8 hours is,


\begin{gathered} Number\text{ }of\text{ }items\text{ }created\text{ }in\text{ }8\text{ }hours=(4)/(3)*8 \\ =(32)/(3) \\ =(30+2)/(3) \\ =(30)/(3)+(2)/(3) \\ =10+(2)/(3) \\ =10(2)/(3)\text{ }items \end{gathered}

Hence, she can create 10 2/3 items in 8 hours.
