Alocal charity is wrapping holiday gifts for local needy families. when 8 volunteers work together, they can get all the gifts wrapped and distributed in 6 hours. how many hours would it have taken if there had been 12 volunteers, each working at the same rate?

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use rate-work formula shown below:

RWT = J

Where

R is the Rate

W is the number of workers

T is the time

J is the Job

Given,

W = 8

T = 6

J = 1 (we consider the task as "1" task)

Substituting, we find R:

RWT = J

R(8)(6) = 1

48R = 1

R = 1/48

Now, we need to find the time. Given:

W = 12

T = ?? (we want to find)

J = 1 (same task)

R = 1/48 (just found)

Substituting, we find our

RWT = J

(1/48)(12)T = 1

(1/4)T = 1

T = 4 hours

answer: all of the odd numbers were opened

the first person was the one that was opening all of the lockers. since one is odd, this causes all of the odd number lockers to be opened in the end.
