Question

A factory needs to produce 1,800 jars of peanut butter on a certain day.

They start production at 8:30 A.M. By 10:30 A.M., they have produced 600 jars of peanut butter. At what time will they complete the total number of jars that they need to produce?

Answer 1

There are two hours between 8:30 A.M. and 10:30 A.M. If they make 600 jars of peanut butter per two hours, then they will make 300 jars per hour. 1800 divided by 6 is 300, so they need six hours to make 1800 jars of peanut butter. So, if they begin production at 8:30 A.M., the factory will have produced 1800 at 4:30 P.M.

Answer 2

2:30 am

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 2 hour gap in between 8:30 and 10:30 and since they only made 600 jars throughout those 2 hrs you can divide 600 by 2 so you can fins out how many jars they make every hr.

Or you can multiply 600 and 2 to find out how much they make within the next 2 hrs.

600 * 2 = 1200

1200 jars were made at 12:30

1200 * 2 = 1800

1800 jars were made at 2:30
