Answer:

17.5 hour or 17 hours 30 minutes

Explanation:

From the question, it takes

1 person = 2/3 of a minute to prepare 1 bag

1 minute = 60 seconds

2/3 of a minute =

2/3 × 60 seconds

= 40 seconds

It takes 1 person 40 seconds to make a bag

Hence,

1 bag = 40 seconds

1575 bags =

Cross Multiply

1575 × 40 seconds

= 63000 seconds

60 seconds = 1 minute

60 minutes = 1 hours

Hence, 1 hour = 60 × 60

= 3600 seconds

If 3600 seconds = 1 hour

63000 seconds = x

Cross Multiply

3600 × x = 63000

x = 63000/3600

x = 17.5 hours

Hence, it would take Ashley and her 444 friends 17.5 hours to make 1575 bag samples
