Question

how many workers will you need if 3150 address tags have to be stuck on envelopes in one hour?in direct proportion

Answer 1

To determine the number of workers needed, we need to establish the rate at which one worker can stick address tags on envelopes. Let's assume that a single worker can stick address tags on 50 envelopes in one hour.

Therefore, the total number of envelopes that can be addressed by one worker in one hour is 50.

To find the total number of workers needed, we divide the total number of address tags that need to be stuck (3150) by the number of address tags that a single worker can complete in one hour (50):

Number of workers needed = 3150 / 50 = 63

Hence, you will need 63 workers to stick 3150 address tags on envelopes in one hour.
