Question

If a production line produces 50 mouse traps every 30 minutes over the course of a 10-hour work day with a half hour break for lunch how many mouse traps are made in a day

Answer 1

950 mouse traps

100 traps/ 1 hr times 9.5 hrs = 950

Answer 2

50 mouse traps every 30 minutes.....double that and u get 100 mouse traps per hr.

10 hrs - half hr break (30 minutes) = 9.5 hrs of work

so if it is 100 mousetraps per hr...and the hrs worked are 9.5 hrs.....then the number of mousetraps produced are : 9.5 * 100 = 950 mouse traps <==
