Question

If a machine that prints designs on T-shirts prints 500 shirts in 3 hours, how many hours will it take to print designs on 1,800 shirts?

Answer 1

Question 695271

{{{500/3=1800/x}}}

Cross multiply:

{{{(3*1800)/500}}}

=10.8 hours

Answer 2

500 shirts / 3 hours = 166 2/3 shirts per hour.

Divide total shirts by shirts per hour:

1800 / 166 2/3 = 10.8 hours.
