Josie has already prepared 5 kilograms of dough and will continue preparing 1 kilogram of dough every hour. How many hours did Josie work if she prepared 8 kilograms of dough?
5 + x = 8
To find out how many hours Josie worked, we need to determine how many hours it took her to prepare 8 kilograms of dough.
We know that Josie started with 5 kilograms of dough and added 1 kilogram every hour. We can use this information to set up an equation to solve for the number of hours.
Let's define the number of hours as "x". We can then write the equation:
5 + (1 * x) = 8
Simplifying the equation, we have:
1 * x = 8 - 5
1 * x = 3
x = 3
Therefore, Josie worked for 3 hours to prepare 8 kilograms of dough.
1 Kilogram of dough: 1 hr
(already prepared 5 kilograms of dough)
How much hours when she prepared 5 kilograms of dough?
Answer: 5 hours
(If it askes in total, 10 kilograms of dough in 10 hours)
