Answer 1

Given:

Mark took 2 hours to make a jacket.

The jacket was made up of 50 kilograms of wool.

To find:

The time in which Mark use 500 kilograms of wool for the jackets.

Solution:

We have,

1 jacket take 2 hours.

Number of jackets in 50 kg of wool = 1

Number of jackets in 1 kg of wool = $\dfrac{1}{50}$

Number of jackets in 500 kg of wool = $\dfrac{1}{50}\times 500$

                                                              = $10$ Jackets

Time taken by 1 jacket = 2 hours

Time taken by 10 jacket = 20 hours

Therefore, it will take 20 hours to use 500 kilograms of wool for the jackets.
