Question

A machine at a chocolate factory wraps 300 chocolate bars in two minutes . a) how many chocolate bars can be wrapped in an 8- hours day ? b) how many minutes will it take to wrap 1000 chocolate bars?

Answer 1

To solve both parts of this problem, we need to determine how many bars can be wrapped in one minute.

a) In one minute, the machine wraps 300/2 = <<300/2=150>>150 chocolate bars.
In an 8-hour day, there are 8 x 60 = <<8*60=480>>480 minutes.
Therefore, the machine can wrap 150 x 480 = <<150*480=72000>>72000 chocolate bars in 8 hours.

b) To wrap 1000 chocolate bars, it will take 1000 / 150 = <<1000/150=6.666666666666667>>6.67 minutes
