Read the first 6 Work Rate flashcards as text

  1. Soldier A can pack 60 supply crates in 3 hours. What is his rate per hour?

    Answer: 20 crates/hr

    Rate = 60 ÷ 3 = 20 crates per hour.

  2. Two soldiers together dig a trench at a combined rate of 4 metres per hour. How long to dig 20 metres?

    Answer: 5 hours

    Time = 20 ÷ 4 = 5 hours.

  3. Recruit X assembles 5 kits per hour and Recruit Y assembles 3 kits per hour. How many kits do they assemble together in 4 hours?

    Answer: 32 kits

    Combined rate = 8 kits/hr; Total = 8 × 4 = 32 kits.

  4. A team of 4 soldiers loads a truck in 2 hours. How long would it take 8 soldiers working at the same rate?

    Answer: 1 hour

    Doubling the workforce halves the time: 2 ÷ 2 = 1 hour.

  5. One machine fills 120 sandbags in 6 hours. A second machine fills 180 sandbags in 6 hours. How many sandbags do both machines fill together in 6 hours?

    Answer: 300

    120 + 180 = 300 sandbags in 6 hours.

  6. Which formula correctly expresses work rate when total work (W) and time (T) are known?

    Answer: Rate = W ÷ T

    Work Rate = Total Work ÷ Time.
