Question

A teacher is making worksheets for the next unit. He can create 3 worksheets in an hour and has 10 worksheets already created from the previous year. Which of the following lengths of time worked will not be long enough for the teacher to have created 27 worksheets. * Check All That Are True*
6 hours, 10 hours, 8 hours, 2 hours, 4 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

2 hours, 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets go over what we know.

There are already 10 worksheets created.

Every 1 hour 3 more are made.

27 worksheets need to be made.

Ok, the first thing we can do is subtract the amount of worksheets needed by the amount we laready have:

27-10

=

17

Now, lets divide the amount of worksheets we still need, by how many we make each hour:

17/3

=

Well, 3 goes into 15, 5 times. Then 2 is left. So we know it takes 5 2/3 hours to create all 27 worksheets.

Looking at the answers, 6 hours, 8 hours, and 10 hours would work. However 2 hours and 4 hours would not work.

Hope this helps! ;)
