Word Problem for Sorting Pictures

Question

I constructed this word problem myself as I am trying to write a program that helps me determine some information. I puzzled this problem out myself a few months ago but now I have no idea how to solve it.

So, let's say I have 700 images. I can sort through 65 images a minute. How many minutes would it take for me to sort through all 700 pictures? How would I convert the answer into hours or days?

Answer 1

Hey there! Its a pretty easy maths to calculate, you can use unitary method to solve it! I will explain how it works:

65 images can be sorted in 1 min.

Therefore, 1 image can be sorted in= 1/65 mins.

Hence, 700 images can be sorted in:

= 1/65 * 700

= 700/65

=140/13 mins (approx. 11 mins)

So you need approximately 11 mins to sort out 700 images! Interesting! Now, let's move on to our next step, to convert it into hours.

We know that 60 min=1hr

So 1 min=1/60 hr

Therefore,

140/13 mins= 1/60*140/13

= 7/39 hrs

= approx. 0.18 hours

[ or 11 min= 1/60*11

= 11/60

= 0.18 hrs]

I dont think its necessary to convert this hour into day, its gonna take you just about 10 minutes to sort 700 images, dw.

Hope this helps! 😉😅
