Answer 1

Answer: 1,920

Explanation:

You would need to find how many containers of cookies they make in a hour which is 240 so than 240 times 8 is 1,920

Answer 2

Answer : The number of containers of cookies machine fill in 8 hours can be, 1920

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that a machine fills 80 containers of cookies in 20 minutes. Now we have to determine the number of containers of cookies could the machine fill in 8 hours.

First we have to convert minutes into hours.

As, 60 minutes = 1 hour

So, 20 minutes =
`(20)/(60)=(1)/(3)` hour

Now we have to determine the number of containers of cookies could the machine fill in 8 hours.

As, in
`(1)/(3)` hour the number of containers of cookies can machine fill = 80

As, in 8 hours the number of containers of cookies can machine fill =
`8hr* 3hr* 80=1920`

Therefore, the number of containers of cookies machine fill in 8 hours can be, 1920
