Question

Ashley recently opened a store which sells only natural ingredients. She wants to advertise her products by distributing bags of samples in her neighborhood. It takes one person 2 minutes to prepare one bag. How many hours will it take to prepare 900 bags of samples if Ashley and 5 of her friends do the work?

Answer 1

It takes 2minutes to make one bag.

If Ashley works alone:

900 bags * 2 minutes= 1800 minutes

Since there is 60 minutes in a hour:

1800/60=30 hours

There is 6 people doing it so:

30 hours/6 people=5 hours

The final answer is 5 hours.

Hope this helps!
