Answer:
75 minutes
50 minutes
Number of minutes to finish labelling = Total number of books labelled / Time taken to label them (speed of labelling)
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question below:
Clare volunteers at a local library during the summer. Her work includes putting labels on 750 books.
How many minutes will she need to finish labeling all books if If she takes no breaks and labels:
a. 10 books a minute
b. 15 books a minute
Suppose Clare labels the books at a constant speed of books per minute. Write an equation that represents the relationship between her labeling speed and the number of minutes it would take her to finish labeling
Solution
a. 10 books a minute
Number of minutes to finish labelling all books at 10 books per minute = Total books / books labelled per minute
= 750 / 10
= 75 minutes
Number of minutes to finish labelling all books at 10 books per minute = 75 minutes
b. 15 books a minute
Number of minutes to finish labelling all books at 15 books per minute = Total books / books labelled per minute
= 750 / 15
= 50 minutes
Number of minutes to finish labelling all books at 15 books per minute = 50 minutes
c. The relationship between her labeling speed and the number of minutes is Total number of books labeled ÷ Time taken to label them
Number of minutes to finish labelling = Total number of books labelled / Time taken to label them (speed of labelling)
