Complete question :
At a farm, four employees harvest 48 pounds of food over a certain numbers of hours. Each employee works the numbered of hours shown. Employee A: 6 hours employee B: 4 hours employee C: 6 hours employee D: 8 hours The number of pounds of food harvested by each employee is proportional to the number of hours worked. Fill in the table with the amount of food, in pounds, each employee harvested.
Answer:
A = 12 lbs ;
B = 8 lbs
C = 12 lbs
D = 16 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Total hours worked :
(A + B + C + D)
(6 + 4 + 6 + 8) hours = 24 hours
Total pounds of food = 48 pounds
Pounds harvested per hour = 48 pounds / 24 hours = 2 pounds per hour
Amount of food harvested by each employee :
A = 6 * 2 = 12 pounds
B = 4 * 2 = 8 pounds
C = 6 * 2 = 12 pounds
D = 8 * 2 = 16 pounds
