Answer:
5 1/3 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ashley prepares 1 bag in 2/3 minutes.
One friend takes 2/3 + 3/4 * 2/3 = 7/6 minutes to make 1 bag.
4 of her friends can make 1 bag in 7/6 * 1/4 = 7/24 minutes.
If it takes x minutes for Ashley and 4 friends to make one bag then we have:
1 / 2/3 + 1 / 7/24 = 1 / x
3/2 + 24/7 = 1/x
Multiply through by 14x:
21x + 48x = 14
x = 14/69 minutes.
So the time to make 1575 bags = 1575 * 14/69
= 320 minutes.
18 is the least common denominator of all the fractions, so you can eliminate fractions by multiplying the equation by 18.
(4.5*18)x +((7/9)*18)x + (2 1/3)*18 + ((1/6)*18)x = (5 1/18)*18
81x +14x +42 +3x = 91 . . . . . simplify
Collect terms.
98x + 42 = 91
98x = 49 . . . . . . . . . subtract 42
x = 49/98 = 1/2
The solution is x = 1/2.

You can also do the arithmetic with mixed numbers and fractions. The usual methods apply.
(4.5 + 7/9 + 1/6)x + 2 1/3 = 5 1/18
(49/9)x + 7/3 = 91/18
(49/9)x = 49/18 . . . . . . . subtract 7/3
x = (9/49)(49/18) = 9/18 = 1/2 . . . . . multiply by 9/49
This can be a little more tedious than the method above, but it works and it will give you the right answer. A calculator that works with fractions can make this solution as easy as the other one.
