Question

Jack works in packaging at a candy factory, he can load 100 bags of candies in a box in 8 minutes, then the time taken for packing 550 candy bags is minutes

Answer 1

Let's assume that Jack can package 550 bags in $x$ minutes.
Assuming his packaging speed remains the same.
$\Rightarrow$ The ratio of number of bags and the time taken to load them will be in proportion.
$\Rightarrow 100:8::550:x$
$\Rightarrow \frac{100}{8}=\frac{550}{x}$
$\Rightarrow 8\times 550=100\times$ $x$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{8\times 550}{100}$
$\Rightarrow x=44$
$\therefore$ Jack can pack the bags in $44$ minutes.
