Students at Roosevelt High School are collecting canned goods for a local food pantry. They plan to distribute flyers to homes in the community for food donations. Last year, 12 students were able to distribute 1,000 flyers in nine hours. How long would it take 15 students to hand out the same number of flys?



Answer :

Answer: It would take 15 students 7.2 hours to hand out 1,000 flyers

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the rate of distributing flyers per student per hour: 1000 flyers / 12 students / 9 hours = 1000 / (12*9) = 1000 / 108 = 9.26 flyers per student per hour

Calculate the time needed for 15 students to distribute 1000 flyers: 1000 flyers / (15 students * 9.26 flyers/hour) = 1000 / 138.9 = 7.2 hours
