Volunteers are folding pamphlets. The time it takes to fold the pamphlets varies directly with the number of pamphlets and inversely as the number of volunteers working. If it takes 4 volunteers 2 hours to fold 400 pamphlets, how long would it take 5 volunteers to fold 600 pamphlets?​

Answer:

2 hours and 24 minutes

Explanation:

If each worker does 100 each hour than 5 workers do 500 in 2 hourse leaving 100 left so then you 2 hours aka 120 minutes divided by 5 = 24 so it all adds to be 2 hours 24 minutes
