36 blue beads and there would be 24 orange 3:2
Okay, my prior answer got deleted for no work, apparently.
I'll re-post it though.
That word problem translates to:
first of all you must find out how many vases he makes per day;
24 ÷ 8 = 3 vases per day
So if he makes 3 vases per day now to find how much time he takes per vase you must divide the number of hours he works per day by the number of vases he makes per day;
6 hours ÷ 3 vases =
6 ÷ 3 = 2
so your final answer would be: 2 hours per vase
