An automobile maker has an order for 7,500 new cars to be delivered in one week. Each car must be fitted with a new hood ornament that requires 1 hour and 15 minutes to install. Assuming the factory operates on a standard workweek shift (8 hours per day for 5 days), how many workers must be assigned this job to meet the deadline?

Answer 1

p = #people.
p x (8 hrs/1 day) x (5 days/1 week) = 1.25 hrs/car x 7,500 cars.

Solve for p.
