Tempco Corporation has a machine that produces 12 1/2 baseball gloves each hour. In the last 2 days, the machine has run for a total of 22 hours. How many baseball gloves has Tempco produced?

Respuesta :

Now, to figure out this, we can break it into parts.


First, we need to figure out how much gloves it makes a hour. 12 and 1/2 is equivalent to 12.5. We now know that 12.5=1 hour.

Next, we write down the word problem, into sections of sequences. 2 days=22 hours.

Now that we know that 12.5=1 hour, we need to get to 22 hours, which means 1X22. We also need to do 12.5X22= 275!

Therefore, it has produced 275 gloves.
