Let's say x = number of hours worked per week for 12 people. Now one worker works 30 hours a week so if you multiply 12 workers by 30 you will get how many hours 12 workers worked. so x = 12 • 30. 12 • 30 is 360. so x = 360 or for 1 week 12 workers worked 360 hours. now we need to find the amount of hours for 4 weeks. so we can do 4x or 4 times the amount of hours per one week. since x = 360. 4 • 360 = 1440.
