Given: A crew averages 50 ft.² per hour. Their next job totals 1500 Square feet.

Required: How many hours will the next job take them.

Explnation:

We can find the hours using unitary method.

50 square feet are averaged in = 1 hour

1 square feet is averaged in = 1/50 hour

1500 square feet is averaged in =(1/50)1500 hours


(1)/(50)*1500=30

So, 1500 square feet is averaged in 30 hours.

Final Answer: The next job will take 30 hours.
