At a factory, a machine puts tops on bottles at a rate of 80 bottles per minute. how many tops can be put on bottles between 8: 00 a. m. and 3: 30 p. m.?

= 36000 caps

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to figure out how many minutes between 8 am and 3:30 pm

There are 7 hours and 30 minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes

Multiply each by 7

7 hours = 7*60 minutes = 420 minutes

So 7 hours 30 minutes = 420 + 30 = 450 minutes

Bottle caps = rate * minutes

                   = 80 caps/minute * 450 minutes

                    = 36000 caps

0.85 or 85%

step-by-step explanation:

1) divide 23 by 27

2) round the decimal to the nearest 10

3) so your answer would be 0.85 or 85%
