Question

Use the information to answer questions 11-15. A small greeting card company prints and ships greeting cards throughout the year. Rodney is able to package and ship 416 cards in an 8-hour workday. Write an equation to represent Rodney's rate where h represents hours and c represents the total number of cards.

Answer 1

Rodney's rate can be represented by the equation rate = c / h, where c represents the total number of cards and h represents the total number of hours. The rate of Rodney's packaging and shipping is 52 cards per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation representing Rodney's rate, we need to determine the rate at which he packages and ships cards. The information provided tells us that Rodney can package and ship 416 cards in an 8-hour workday. We can use this information to determine the rate in terms of cards per hour.

To find the rate, we divide the total number of cards by the total number of hours: rate = c / h

Substituting the values from the given information, we have: rate = 416 / 8

This simplifies to: rate = 52
