Answer 1

To find the unit rate, we divide the number of school-supply kits by the time it took to put them together.

Unit rate = (Number of school-supply kits) / (Time in minutes)

So, the unit rate is 40 kits / 8 minutes = 5 kits/minute.

To find how many kits can be put together in 30 minutes, we multiply the unit rate by the time.

Number of kits in 30 minutes = (Unit rate) * (Time in minutes) = 5 kits/minute * 30 minutes = 150 school-supply kits.

Therefore, they could put together 150 school-supply kits in 30 minutes.
