Question

A toy factory makes 15 teddy bears every 10 minutes. The factory makes teddy bears for 8 hours each work day. What is the fewest number of work days the factory will need to make 5,000 teddy bears? Write an explanation to show how you determined your answer

Answer 1

Ok so if they make 15 bears every 10 mins then they will make 90 bears in one hour.

15 x 6 = 90

If they work for 8 hours then they’ll make 720 bears in one work day.

90 x 8 = 720

Let x be the number of days...

720x = 5000

5000 / 720 = 6.9444444.....

Round up because they want the least number of work days

So the answer is 7 work days

Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)
