Answer 1

1,224 more envelopes. 135 + 141 = 276. 1,500 - 276 = 1,224.

Answer 2

She need to stuff 1224 envelopes in 6 hours.

Explanation:

Total time for completing = 8 hours

Total number of envelopes = 1500

The first hour, Rachel stuffs 135 envelopes. The second hour she stuffs 141 envelopes.

Total number of envelopes stuffed in 2 hours = 135 + 141 = 276

Remaining number of envelopes = 1500 - 276 = 1224

Remaining time = 8 - 2 = 6 hours

So she need to stuff 1224 envelopes in 6 hours.
