one day,they have to deliver 875 newspapers and 1200 magazines.
each student can deliver 35 newspapers or 50 magazines in 1 hour.
each student can only work for 8 hours
work out the minimum number of students needed

Answer:4 students for newspapers & 3 students for magazines are needed for the deliveries to be made in a day.Step-by-step explanation:According to the question,875 newspapers & 1200 magazines are to be delivered in a day by students.In an hour each student can deliver 35 newspapers or 50 magazines & each student can only work for 8 hours So, In 8 hours each student can deliver:35 × 8 = 280 newspapers50 × 8 = 400 magazinesTo find out minimum number of students needed to work we need to divide work done by each student in 8 hours by total deliveries to be made. [tex] \therefore[/tex]For Newspapers:875/280 = 3.125So, by rounding of the figure we will need 4 students to deliver newspapers as each student can work only for 8 hours.For magazines:1200/400 = 33 students are needed to deliver magazines.
