A machine at a chocolate factory wraps 300 chocolate bars in two minutes . a) how many chocolate bars can be wrapped in an 8- hours day ? b) how many minutes will it take to wrap 1000 chocolate bars?
To solve both parts of this problem, we need to determine how many bars can be wrapped in one minute.
a) In one minute, the machine wraps 300/2 = <<300/2=150>>150 chocolate bars.
In an 8-hour day, there are 8 x 60 = <<8*60=480>>480 minutes.
Therefore, the machine can wrap 150 x 480 = <<150*480=72000>>72000 chocolate bars in 8 hours.
b) To wrap 1000 chocolate bars, it will take 1000 / 150 = <<1000/150=6.666666666666667>>6.67 minutes
