To determine how many hours it will take to produce 30 lawnmowers at the rate of the Lawn Order lawmnower factory, we start by calculating the production rate.
The factory can produce 12 lawnmowers in 8 hours. We can first find out how many lawnmowers are produced per hour:
\[ \text{Production rate} = \frac{12 \text{ lawnmowers}}{8 \text{ hours}} = 1.5 \text{ lawnmowers per hour} \]
Next, we need to find out how many hours it will take to produce 30 lawnmowers:
\[ \text{Time required} = \frac{30 \text{ lawnmowers}}{1.5 \text{ lawnmowers per hour}} = 20 \text{ hours} \]
Thus, it will take 20 hours to produce 30 lawnmowers.
