Answer 2

Answer:

15 hours for 75 items

Step-by-step explanation:

It is asked in the question to find the  number of  hours  a craftsman  make 75 items  here following are the data given

number of items make =40

time required =8 hours

let us consider he  takes x hours for making  75 items

now make a simple equation as

40= 8

75 =x

this seen that for obtaining the value of x we simply do the cross multiplication  so by putting the equation in the form of cross multiplication we get the answer

$40 x = 75\times 8$

hence

$40x =600\\x=\frac{600}{40}$

so

$x =15$

so we conclude that he takes 15 hours for making 75 items
