Question

At a factory, a machine puts tops on bottles at a rate of 90 bottles per minute. How many tops can be put on bottles between 10:00 AM and 2:30 PM?

Answer 1

• 24300

Explanation:

Rate:

• 90 tops/min

Time:

• 2:30 PM - 10:00 AM = 14:30 - 10:00 = 4:30 hours
• 4:30 hours = 4*60 + 30 min = 270 min

Number of tops can be put in 270 min:

• 270*90 = 24300
