Question

1. a factory needs to produce 1,800 jars of peanut butter on a certain day. they start production at 8:30 a.m. by 10:30 a.m., they had produced 600 jars of peanut butter. at what time will they complete the total number of jars that they need to produce?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate production time elapsed

From 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. is $10:30 - 8:30 = 2$ hours.

Step2: Find production rate

Rate = $\frac{\text{Jars produced}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{600}{2} = 300$ jars/hour

Step3: Calculate remaining jars

Remaining jars = $1800 - 600 = 1200$ jars

Step4: Find time for remaining jars

Time = $\frac{\text{Remaining jars}}{\text{Rate}} = \frac{1200}{300} = 4$ hours

Step5: Add time to current time

Current time is 10:30 a.m. $10:30 + 4:00 = 2:30$ p.m.

Answer:

2:30 p.m.
