Question

Production line produces 50 mouse traps every 30 minutes for the course of a 10 hour day with a half hour break for lunch how many mouse traps are made in a day

Answer 1

950 mouse traps are made in a day.

Explanation:

Given:

Mouse traps produced in 30 minutes = 50

Total working hour in one day = 10 hours

Lunch break time = 30 minutes

To find:

Number of mouse traps are made in a day = ?

Solution:

Total number of working hours =10 hours

We know that 1 hours = 60 minutes

so 10 hours = 60 x 10 = 600 minutes

It is said that there is 30 minutes break

So total working hour is 600-30 = 570

In 570 minutes we have =
`(570)/(30)` =19 half hours

Now the total mouse traps produced is 19 half hours is

19 x 50 = 950
