Question

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 2 minutes to prepare one bag. How many hours will it take to prepare 900 bags of samples if Ashley and 5 of her friends do the work?

Answer 1

30 hours because if there are 6 people working, each person will do 150 bags. it takes 300 minutes for each person to do 150 bags (150*2). it will take 1800 minutes for 6 people to do 900 bags (300*6). divide 1800 by 60 (minutes) and you get 30 hours

Answer 2

It take 5 hours to prepare 900 bags of samples if Ashley and 5 of her friends do the work.

Explanation:

1 person prepare 1 bag in 2 minutes

We are supposed to find How many hours will it take to prepare 900 bags of samples if Ashley and 5 of her friends do the work?

No. of persons = 6

Since 1 person 2 minutes to prepare 1 bag.

So, 6 persons prepare 6 bags in 2 minutes

6 persons prepare 1 bags in minutes =
`(2)/(6)`

6 persons prepare 900 bags in minutes =
`(2)/(6) * 900`

= 300 minutes

Now, 60 minute = 1 hour

So, 300 minutes =
`(1)/(60) * 300`

= 5 hours

Hence it take 5 hours to prepare 900 bags of samples if Ashley and 5 of her friends do the work.
