Question

Tino and Kate are tailors sewing buttons on shirts . Each shirt needs 8 buttons . Together, the tailors attach 80 buttons . If they split the work evenly, how many shirts did Timor complete ?

Answer 1

If each shirt needs eight buttons you find out what times (×) Eight equals (=) 80
8×10=80
So Eight buttons per shirt
So together they made 10 shirts
but they ask how many Timor made so you do 10 ÷ 2= 5

Timor Made Five (5) Shirts

Answer 2

5 shirts.

Explanation:

Let x be the total number of shirts.

We have been given that each shirt needs 8 buttons, so number of button on x shirts would be
`8x`.

We are told that together the tailors attach 80 buttons. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`8x=80`

`(8x)/(8)=(80)/(8)`

`x=10`

Therefore, both tailors completed 10 shirts.

Since they split the work evenly, so Timor will complete half of the 10 shirts that is 5 shirts.

Therefore, Timor completed 5 shirts.
