A sawmill runs for three 4-hour shifts per day. It produces 500 2x4's per hour, which are divided into 50 piece bundles automatically. If a forklift operator is able to load 10 bundles of 2x4's per hour, how many hours will it take the operator to load a full day of production?

Well if the sawmill makes 500 2x4's per hour and runs for 3 different 4 hour shifts a day, its going for 12 hours. Then if the forklift can move 10 bundles of 50 in one hour that is 500 2x4s. So it will take 12 hours to load a full days worth of production. In other words, the answer is 12.
