To find out how many bicycles John can assemble in 1 hour, you can use the formula:

rate = work/time

where rate is the number of bicycles John can assemble in 1 hour, work is the total number of bicycles he assembled, and time is the total time it took him to assemble the bicycles.

In this case, the work is 10 bicycles and the time is 8 hours. So, we can substitute these values into the formula:

rate = 10 bicycles / 8 hours

rate = 1.25 bicycles/hour

So John can assemble 1.25 bicycles in 1 hour, assuming he works at a consistent pace.
