Question

A professional miner can dig 3/8 meter in an hour. How many meters can 8 professional miners dig in 2 hours?

Answer 1

One professional miner can dig 3/8 meter in an hour, so 8 professional miners can dig:

(3/8 meter per hour) x (8 miners) = 24/8 = 3 meters per hour

Therefore, in 2 hours, 8 professional miners can dig:

3 meters per hour x 2 hours = 6 meters

So, 8 professional miners can dig 6 meters in 2 hours.

Answer 2

Explanation:

One professional miner can dig 3/8 meter in an hour.

To find out how many meters 8 professional miners can dig in 2 hours, we can start by finding out how many meters one miner can dig in 2 hours:

3/8 meter/hour x 2 hours = 3/4 meter

So, one professional miner can dig 3/4 meter in 2 hours.

To find out how many meters 8 professional miners can dig in 2 hours, we can multiply the amount dug by one miner by the number of miners:

3/4 meter x 8 = 6 meters

Therefore, 8 professional miners can dig 6 meters in 2 hours.
