Question

At true sound electronics, eric can assemble 55 of their newest model of mp3 players in one hour. a large department store just placed an order for 8,382 of the mp3 players in preparation for the holiday season. eric has been asked to fill this order by himself because everyone else is busy working on assembling video recorders.

Answer 1

8382/55 = 152.4 hrs = 152 hrs and 24 minutes...Eric is gonna have a long week

or this way....
55/1 = 8382/x....55 to 1 hr = 8382 to x hrs
cross multiply
55x = 8382
x = 8382/55
x = 152.4 hrs or 152 hrs and 24 minutes
