Question

Patty can make 10 purses in 8 hours. At this rate how many purses can she make in 28 hours

Answer 1

8 x 3 = 24
24 + 4 = 28
Now if 10 purses are made in 8 hours, and we can see we timesed 8, 3 times, thats 10 x 3 = 30
Now we take in to count the last 4 hours
30 + 4 = 34
And 4 is half of 8 so if we cut 10 in half we get 5.
So, the answer is 35
At least that's what I got :)

Answer 2

35 purses.

Explanation:

Given,

Number of purse = 10,

Time taken = 8 hours,

So,

`\text{Rate of making purse}=\frac{\text{Number of purses}}{\text{Time taken}}`

`=(10)/(8)`

= 1.25 purse per hour,

If time = 28 hours,

`\text{Number of purses}=28* \text{Rate of making purses}}`

= 28 × 1.25

= 35
