Question

Dwayne starts assembling marketing packets at 11 a.m. Ashlie starts assembling marketing packets at 11:30 a.m. and assembles at a rate of 90 packages per hour. By 2 p.m. Ashlie and Dwayne have assembled the same number of packets. How many packets per hour is Dwayne assembling?a. 75b. 60c. 90d. 45

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A = 75 is the best option

Step-by-step explanation:

It took Ashlie 2.5 hours (11:30 am - 2pm) to assemble the marketing packets

Rate = Number of jobs done/Time taken = 90 packages/hr

Number of jobs done = Rate * Time taken = 90 * 2.5 = 225 packages.

Dwayne has assembled the same number of packages = 225 (as reported in the question),

It took Ashlie 2.5 hours (11 am - 2pm)

Then, his work rate is calculated as:  Number of jobs done/Time taken = 225 packages/3 hours = 75

Thus, option A = 75 is the best option
