If someone scans 7779 packages in 4 ½ hours, how many packages were scanned in a 1 minute period?

Answer 1

In order to figure out how many packages per minute, we first need to figure out how many minutes are in a 4.5 hour period.

There are 60 min/1 hour so 4.5hr*60minutes=270 minutes

From there divide the number of packages 7779 by the number of minutes 270

7779/270=28.81 packages scanned every minute
