Answer: 13 people (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

I didn't use a set equation to solve the problem, but I added 1+2+3+4... (and so on) until I got a number that was over 100. When I got to 14, the number reached 105, meaning that 13 people were able to get the number of chocolates that they desired. The fourteenth person was short 5 chocolates.

Please feel free to ask me any further questions you have! Have a wonderful day!

ZanzabumX [31]
8 1-and-a-half blocks would be 12 blocks, and so 12/17, because 12 blocks in 17 mins., so you divide 12 by 17 to get ---- blocks per minute, which is 12/17 as a fraction, or approx. 0.705882353 blocks per minute.

A warehouse worker moved 108 pallets in 4.5 hours. In minutes, what is the rate to move one pallet? The worker will be off the c
klasskru [66]

Number of pallets moved in 4.5 hours = 108

converting 4.5 hours in minutes we get,

4*60 + 0.5*60 = 240+30 = 270 minutes

So, 108 pallets were moved in = 270 minutes

1 pallet was moved in = \frac{270}{108}=2.5 minutes

As the tie will get over in 2 hours or 2*60 = 120 minutes, the number of pallets that can be moved will be = \frac{120}{2.5}= 48 pallets.

Hence, 48 pallets can be moved before quitting time.
