Question

A worker assembles 5.4 products per hour. At this rate how many products will she assemble in a year if she works 40 hours per week and gets two weeks of vacation each year? (Assume no holidays.) A) 432 products B) 2,700 products C) 5,400 products O D) 10,800 products

Answer 1

we have:

5.4 products per hour

1 year = 52 weeks

40 hours -----> 1 week

x hours -------> 50 weeks

`\begin{gathered} x*1=40*52 \\ x=2000 \end{gathered}`

she works 2080 hours per year

then,

5.4 products ----> 1 hour

y products -------> 2000 hours

`\begin{gathered} y*1=5.4*2000 \\ y=10800 \end{gathered}`

answer: D. 10,800 products
