Question 212111: A glass fiber- optic extrusion machine produces 1.5 meters of fiber per minute. How many complete sections precisely 0.8765cm long can be cut from one day's (8 hour)production of the fiber?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.5 x 60= 90 (how many meters per hour)
90 8 = 720 (for the whole day)
1 meter = 100 centimeters (this is the formula we will use)
720 meters x 100 = 72000 centimeters
72,000 / 0.8765cm = 82,144.894
Hope that helps!

:
Change meters to cm: 1.5 * 100 = 150 cm
8hrs * 60min * 150cm divided by .8765 cm = 82,144 sections produced
