Question

A factory makes 1200 shirts every 6 hours.the factory makes shirts for 9 hours a workday. what is the fewest number of workdays the factory will need to make 12,600 shirts

Answer 1

1. Divide the target number of shirts, 12,600 by the company's rate of making the shirts. That is,
                                 number of hours = 12,600 shirts/ (1200 shirts/6 hours)
                                                               = 63 hours
2. Determine the number of workdays for them to complete the shirts by dividing 63 hours by 9 hours/workday. This will give us an answer of 7 workdays.
