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

Answer 1

To determine the number of workers needed to stick 3150 address tags on envelopes in one hour, we require additional information. Specifically, we need to know the time it takes for a single worker to stick an address tag on an envelope.

Let's assume it takes an average of 5 seconds for one worker to stick an address tag on an envelope. Therefore, each worker can complete 12 tags in a minute (60 seconds / 5 seconds) or 720 tags in an hour (12 tags/minute * 60 minutes/hour).

Now, we can calculate the number of workers needed by dividing the total number of address tags by the number of tags completed by an individual worker in an hour:

Number of workers needed = Total number of address tags / Number of tags completed by one worker in an hour

Number of workers needed = 3150 tags / 720 tags/hour

Number of workers needed ≈ 4.375

Since we can't have a fraction of a worker, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you will need at least 5 workers to stick 3150 address tags on envelopes in one hour.
