Ashley recently opened a store which sells only natural ingredients. She wants to advertise her products by distributing bags of samples in her neighborhood. It takes one person 2 minutes to prepare one bag.
How many hours will it take to prepare 900 bags of samples if Ashley and 5 of her friends do the work?
diffinitely 12
With 6 people preparing bags, they would be able to prepare 6 bags every 2 minutes.
900/6 * 2 = total minutes
Divide that answer by 60 to get hours.
Please ignore my answer. I goofed.
5 hours
12 min
To find out how many hours it will take to prepare 900 bags of samples, we need to calculate the total time it takes for Ashley and her 5 friends to prepare one bag and then multiply it by the total number of bags.
First, let's determine the total time it takes for Ashley and her friends to prepare one bag. Since one person can prepare a bag in 2 minutes, the combined effort of Ashley and her 5 friends would be 2 minutes per bag divided by 6 people, which is:
2 minutes / 6 people = 1/3 minute per bag
Now, let's calculate the time it would take to prepare 900 bags by multiplying the time per bag by the total number of bags:
1/3 minute per bag * 900 bags = 300 minutes
However, since we want the answer in hours, we need to convert minutes to hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so:
300 minutes / 60 minutes per hour = 5 hours
Therefore, it will take Ashley and her 5 friends a total of 5 hours to prepare 900 bags of samples.
