Final answer:
After calculating the production of the boy elves in Santa's workshop, which is 20 toys per hour, the remaining 240 toys are produced by the girl elves in the same time period.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Santa's workshop, there are five (5) boy elves and eight (8) girl elves making toys for Christmas.
If, together, they produce 260 toys in one hour and each boy elf makes four (4) toys per hour, we can calculate the total number of toys produced by the boy elves and then determine the number of toys made by the girl elves.
Each boy elf creates 4 toys per hour, so five boy elves will produce 5 times 4 toys, which equals 20 toys in total per hour.
Now that we know the boy elves produce 20 toys, we can subtract this from the total production to find the number of toys made by the girl elves.
The total number of toys produced is 260 toys, so if we subtract the 20 toys made by the boy elves, we are left with:
260 toys (total) - 20 toys (boy elves) = 240 toys (girl elves)
Thus, the girl elves make 240 toys in an hour.
