Problema Solution
About 80% of the egg rolls sold in US grocery stores are made in Houston, Texas. A skilled wrapper can make 4,000 egg rolls in an 8-hour day. Bettie said this is about one egg roll a minute. Is her claim reasonable?
Answer provided by our tutors
8 hours = 8*60 min = 480 min
lets find out how many egg rolls per min are made:
there are 4,000 egg rolls per 480 minutes made or:
4,000/480 egg rolls per min = 8.33 egg rolls per min
if we round to an integer number we can say that there are about 8 rolls per minute made.
Bettie's claim is not reasonable.
