Answer 1

1200

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer is because you first multiply 2.5 by 60 for the 60 minutes in an hour and ultimately get 150 then you multiply that answer by 8 to get 1200.

Answer 2

1200

Explanation:

First we need to figure out how many bricks can be set in an hour, so you do 2.5*60, since there are 60 min. in an hour. That's 150.

Now we do 8 hours. You do 150*8, which is 1200.

Hope this helps.
