To find out how many boxes the volunteers packed per minute, we need to divide the total number of boxes by the total time it took to pack them. In this case, the volunteers packed 50 boxes in 20 minutes.
To find the number of boxes packed per minute, we divide 50 by 20.
50 boxes ÷ 20 minutes = 2.5 boxes/minute
Therefore, the volunteers packed 2.5 boxes per minute. The correct answer is:
2.5 boxes/minute
To find the number of boxes packed per minute, you need to divide the total number of boxes packed (50) by the time taken (20 minutes).
So, to find the answer, you divide 50 boxes by 20 minutes:
50 boxes ÷ 20 minutes = 2.5 boxes/minute
Therefore, the volunteers packed 2.5 boxes per minute. So, the correct answer is "2.5 boxes/minute".
