Answer:
To solve this problem, we can use the following steps:
Determine the total number of chips produced per minute by all the machines:
Total chips per minute = number of machines * chips per minute per machine
= 90 * 95
= 8,550 chips per minute
Determine the total number of chips produced in one hour:
Total chips per hour = Total chips per minute * number of minutes in an hour
= 8,550 * 60
= 513,000 chips per hour
Determine the total number of chips produced in 5 hours (the time it takes to fill 5 shipping boxes):
Total chips for 5 hours = Total chips per hour * number of hours
= 513,000 * 5
= 2,565,000 chips
Determine the number of chips per shipping box by dividing the total number of chips by the number of shipping boxes:
Chips per box = Total chips / Number of boxes
= 2,565,000 / 5
= 513,000 chips per box
Therefore, there are 513,000 chips per box when 90 machines produce potato chips at a rate of 95 chips per minute.
