Question

Question 5 Clare volunteers at a local library during the summer. Her work includes putting labels on 750 books. How many minutes will she need to finish labeling all books if she takes no breaks and labels 10 books a minute.

Answer 1

hello

Claire labels 10 books per minute without breaks, how many minutes will it take her to label 750 books

`\begin{gathered} 10\text{books}=1\min \\ 750\text{books}=x\min \\ \text{cross multiply and solve for x} \\ 10* x=750*1 \\ 10x=750 \\ \text{divide both side by 10} \\ (10x)/(10)=(750)/(10) \\ x=75 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, it took Claire 75 minutes to label 750 books
