Answer 2

Answer:

7 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

2000 grocery bags

Let x be the number of hours

If they're handing out 150 bags per hour, then 150x would be the amount given out in x hrs.

Since we want to get 950 bags left over a certain number of hrs, make this equation and solve:

950=2000-150x

150x=1050

x=7
