The staff at the pretzel shop bakes eight trays of twelve pretzels each every hour. If the staff works eight hours a day, how many pretzels do they bake a day?
Calculate first how many pretzels are baked in an hour to make it easier.
eight trays of twelve pretzels in them each= 8 * 12= 96 pretzels/hour
96 pretzels/ hour * 8 hours/ day= 768 pretzels/ day
Thanks
To find out how many pretzels the staff at the pretzel shop bakes in a day, you can multiply the number of trays baked per hour by the number of hours worked per day.
First, calculate the number of pretzels baked per hour:
Number of pretzels per tray = 12
Number of trays baked per hour = 8
So, the number of pretzels baked per hour is:
Number of pretzels per hour = Number of trays * Number of pretzels per tray
Number of pretzels per hour = 8 trays * 12 pretzels per tray
Number of pretzels per hour = 96 pretzels
Then, calculate the number of pretzels baked per day:
Number of hours worked per day = 8
So, the number of pretzels baked per day is:
Number of pretzels per day = Number of pretzels per hour * Number of hours per day
Number of pretzels per day = 96 pretzels/hour * 8 hours/day
Number of pretzels per day = 768 pretzels
Therefore, the staff at the pretzel shop bakes 768 pretzels per day.
