It think it should be as follows...
For 500 boxes, we need 12*3 = 36 worker-hourscandela.tartiere wrote:If it takes 12 workers working independently 3 hours to make 500 boxes, how many minutes should it take for 16 workers to make 300 boxes?
For 300 boxes, we'll need (36/500)*300 = 3*36/5 worker=hours = (16 workers)*(3*36/5*16 hours)
3*36/5*16 hours = 3*36*60/5*16 minutes = 3*9*3 minutes = 81 minutes
The correct answer is C.
