Question

Ashley recently opened a store that uses only natural ingredients. She wants to advertise her products by distributing bags of samples in her neighborhood. It takes one person 2/3​ of a minute to prepare one bag. How many hours will it take Ashley and 4 of her friends to prepare 1575 bags?

Answer 1

3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

3 hours 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Time taken to prepare 1 bag for 1 person

=
`(2)/(3)` of a minute

=
`(2)/(3)` × 60

= 40 seconds

Time taken to prepare 1575 bags for 1 person

= 1575 × 40

= 63000 seconds

Time taken to prepare 1575 bags for 5 persons (Ashley + 4 friends)

=
`(63000)/(5)`

= 12600 seconds

Step 2: To convert 12600 seconds into hours

1 hour = 3600 seconds

12600 seconds =
`(12600)/(3600)`

= 3 hours 30 minutes

Hence Ashley and 4 of her friends will take 3 hours 30 minutes to prepare 1575 bags.
