Question

A carpenter sands 12 of a dresser in 34 hour. At this rate, how long does it take the carpenter to sand 1 dresser?

Answer 1

2.83

or 3 hours 23 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 dressers are sanded in 34 hours , 1 dresser would be sanded in : 34/12 = 2.83

Because the limit on minutes is 60, we would have to convert 2.83

to do this divide 83 by 60 = 1 hr 23 minutes

Add this to 2 hours . this gives 3 hours 23 minutes
