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

With 6 people preparing bags, they would be able to prepare 6 bags every 2 minutes.

900/6 * 2 = the total minutes

Divide that answer by 60 to get the numbe of hours.

The answer is 5 hours.

Hope that helps.- UF aka Nadia

Answer 2

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

Explanation:

Given : 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.

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

Solution :

Total number of people including Ashley are 6.

Number of bags to prepare is 900.

So, The number of bag per person is

`(900)/(6)=150` bags per person.

Time taken by one person to prepare one bag is 2 minutes.

To prepare 150 bags time taken is
`150* 2=300`

Converting minute into hours,

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute =
`(1)/(60)` hour

300 minute =
`(300)/(60)` hour

300 minute = 5 hour

Therefore, 5 hour will it take to prepare 900 bags of samples if Ashley and 5 of her friends do the work.
