Question

The grocery store has 1 1/4 times as many cashiers in late afternoon than in the morning. If there are 20 cashiers at 10:00 am, how many would there be at 4:00 pm?

Answer 1

25 cashiers

Explanation:

To solve this, you can multiply the number of cashiers at 10:00 am (20) by 1 1/4, which is the same as multiplying by 5/4.

20 x 5/4 = 25

So, there are 25 cashiers at 4:00 pm.

You can confirm this by dividing 25 by 5/4 to see if it equals 20:

25 * 4/5 = 20

Therefore, there are 25 cashiers at 4:00 pm.
