Answer 1

To solve this problem using a unit rate, we can divide the number of school-supply kits by the time it takes to assemble them.

The unit rate is 40 kits / 8 minutes = 5 kits/minute.

To find out how many kits can be put together in 30 minutes, we multiply the unit rate by the number of minutes:

5 kits/minute * 30 minutes = 150 school-supply kits.

Therefore, the correct answer is 150 school-supply kits.
