10.67 school-supply kits
To solve this problem using a unit rate, we can find out how many school-supply kits are put together in 1 minute and then multiply that by 30.
40 school-supply kits / 8 minutes = 5 school-supply kits/minute
5 school-supply kits/minute * 30 minutes = 150 school-supply kits
Therefore, the volunteers could put together 150 school-supply kits in 30 minutes.
To solve this problem using a unit rate, we need to find out how many school-supply kits volunteers can put together in 1 minute.
If volunteers put together 40 school-supply kits in 8 minutes, we can divide 40 by 8 to find the number of kits assembled in 1 minute.
40 school-supply kits / 8 minutes = 5 school-supply kits
Therefore, volunteers can put together 5 school-supply kits in 1 minute.
To find out how many they can put together in 30 minutes, we can multiply the number of kits in 1 minute by 30.
5 school-supply kits * 30 minutes = 150 school-supply kits
So, volunteers can put together 150 school-supply kits in 30 minutes.
To solve this problem using a unit rate, we can first determine the number of school-supply kits that can be put together in 1 minute, and then multiply that by the number of minutes given.
If volunteers can put together 40 school-supply kits in 8 minutes, then we can find the rate at which they are assembling the kits by dividing the number of kits by the number of minutes:
40 kits / 8 minutes = 5 kits/minute
This means that the volunteers are putting together 5 school-supply kits every minute.
To find out how many kits they can put together in 30 minutes, we can multiply the rate (5 kits/minute) by the number of minutes (30):
5 kits/minute * 30 minutes = 150 kits
Therefore, at this rate, the volunteers can put together 150 school-supply kits in 30 minutes.
The correct answer is 150 school-supply kits.
