Can someone please show me the steps to this question? Please You can stuff 108 envelopes in 45 minutes. At this rate, how many envelopes can you stuff in 2 hours?

OpenStudy (kdr1308):

Ah, sorry about that... Let me try explaining it again... Do you know how to find the amount of envelopes stuffed per minute?

OpenStudy (abbycross167):

no sir

OpenStudy (kdr1308):

Okay well, there are 108 envelopes stuffed in 45 minutes so 108 divided by 45

OpenStudy (abbycross167):

2.4

OpenStudy (kdr1308):

Great! Now we know there is 60 minutes in an hour, meaning there are 120 minutes in two hours.

OpenStudy (kdr1308):

So --> 2.4 x 120 = ?

OpenStudy (abbycross167):

288

OpenStudy (kdr1308):

Yep! Make more sense now?
