Problem

Ashley recently opened a store that sells only natural ingredients. She wants to advertise her products by distributing bags of samples in her neighborhood. It takes one person 222 minutes to prepare one bag.
How many hours will it take to prepare 900900900 bags of samples if Ashley and 555 of her friends do the work?

clearly, with all the folks at work, it will take

222/556 minutes per bag.

I suspect a typo in your number of bags.

It takes 2 minutes to prepare 1 bag. If Ashley works alone, it will take her 900*2 or 1800 minutes to prepare the bags. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, that is the same as 1800/60 or 30 hours. If she and 5 other people will help, there are 6 people in total. 30/6 is equal to 5.
