Correct question is;
John makes clay cups. He makes 18 cups each hour.
He makes cups for 6½ hours each day, on 5 days of the week.
The cups are packed in boxes.
4 cups are packed into each box.
How many boxes are needed for
all the cups John makes in a week?
585
146.25
146
147
Answer:
147
Explanation:
Since he makes 18 cups each hour and we are told that he makes it for 6½ hours each day.
Thus, amount of cups made per day = 18 × 6½ = 18 × 13/2 = 117 cups
She works 5 days a week.
This means;
Cups produced for the week = 117 × 5 = 585 cups
We are told that the cups are to be packed in boxes. Also that 4 cups are packed into each box.
Thus, number of boxes = 585/4 = 146.25 boxes
Since, we can't have a decimal as number of boxes, to fit everything we approximately need 147 boxes
