Question

Charlotte embroidered a piece of cloth with a length of 4 meters and a width of 2 meters in 412 hours.

What is the approximate speed, in square meters per hour, at which Charlotte can embroider? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Charlotte can embroider 0.02 square meters per hour. The cloth had a total of 8 square meters. (I figured that out by taking 4 meters times 2 meters = 8 square meters). Then I divided 8 by 412 hours, which equals .02.
