Question

Tony can package x items in one hour. If he is going to work an 8 hour shift write an expression for the total number of items he will package on his shift

Answer 1

The total numbers of item packed on his shift = 8x

Explanation:

Given, Tony can pack items in 1 hour = x items

Number of hours in his shift = 8 hours

So, the total number of items packed in his shift

= Items packed per hour x Number of working hours

= x times 8 = 8x

Hence, the total numbers of item packed on his shift = 8x
