Question

if it takes 5 people to make 35 orders in 1 hour how many orders does it take 10 people to make in 3 hours?

Answer 1

5 people make 35 orders in 1 hour         double the people to 10 and double the orders to 70

10 people make 70 orders in 1 hour        triple the time to 3 hours and triple the orders to 210

10 people make 210 orders in 3 hours

Answer is 210 orders

Answer 2

First, use what you know and find the rate of orders per person per hour.

 

(35 orders)/ (5 people) = 7 orders/person

 

Rate = (7)/(1 hour) = 7 orders/(person - hour) : 7 orders are completed for every hour 1 person works

 

(Orders by X number people over Y number of hours) = Rate * (Number of people) * (Number of hours)
