Answer 1

Answer:

Mike can stitch one shirt in 6 hours and in 1 hour he can stitch $\frac{1}{6}$ (0.167) shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike can stitch 7 shirts in 42 hours

to calculate the time that he takes to make 1 shirt, we have to divide 42 by 7.

He can stitch 1 shirt in = $\frac{42}{7}$ = 6 hours

Now we calculate the work done in one hour.

He can stitch in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{6}$  shirts or 0.167 shirts

Mike can stitch one shirt in 6 hours and in 1 hour he can stitch $\frac{1}{6}$ shirts.
