Answer:

5 hrs 19.57 Minutes will be taken to prepare 1575 Bags by Ashley & her 4 friends if Ashley take 2/3 minute to prepare a bag & her each friend takes 75% Longer

Explanation:

Ashley Takes 2/3 minute to prepare a bag

=> ashley prepare bag in 1 minute = 3/2

Her friends takes 75% Longer to prepare a bag

time taken by her friends = 2/3 + (75/100)(2/3)

= (2/3)( 1 + 3/4)

= (2/3)(7/4)

= 7/6 Minutes

Her one friend prepare bag in 1 minute = 6/7

Bag prepared by Ashley & her 4 friend in 1 Minute

= 3/2 + 4*6/7

= (21 + 48)/14

= 69/14 Bag

69/14 Bag prepared in 1 minute

1 Bag prepared in 14/69 minutes

1575 bags prepared in 1575 * 14/69

= 319.57 minutes

= 5 hrs 19.57 Minutes
