A machine can package 5950 boxes of cereal in 7 hours. How many boxes is the machine packing per hour?

Answer 1

To find out how many boxes the machine is packing per hour, you can divide the total number of boxes by the total number of hours.

Given:

• Total boxes = 5950
• Total hours = 7

Now, perform the division:

\[ \text{Boxes per hour} = \frac{5950 \text{ boxes}}{7 \text{ hours}} = 850 \text{ boxes per hour} \]

So, the machine is packing 850 boxes per hour.
