your club is in charge of making pins that students can buy to show their school spirit for the upcoming football game. you have 225 so far and you only have 2 hrs. left to make the rest of the pins. you need to make at least 400 pins.
What is the question? Is it how many do you have to make per hour to finish in time?
If so 400 - 225 = ?
then divide that answer by the 2 hours.
To determine the number of pins you need to make in the remaining 2 hours, subtract the number of pins you already have (225) from the target number of pins (400):
400 - 225 = <<400-225=175>>175
To find out how many pins need to be made per hour, divide the remaining number of pins (175) by the remaining time (2 hours):
175 / 2 = <<175/2=87.5>>87.5
Since you can't make half a pin, round up to the nearest whole number. This means you will need to make at least 88 pins per hour in the remaining time in order to meet your goal of 400 pins.
Please note that this calculation assumes a constant rate of production and does not take into account any potential fluctuation in productivity or time required for preparation and distribution of the pins.
