Answer 2

Answer:

15 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question, first we need to know the amount of hours that Nim was able to work.

If Nim worked Monday through Friday, 8 hours a day, then:

Monday to Friday = 5 days

1 day = 8 hours

5 days * 8 hours = 40 hours

Out of these forty hours, Nim needs 2 2/3 hours to weave a basket. Therefore:

40 / (2 2/3) =

40 / (8 /3) =

40 * 3/8 =

120/8 = 15
