Practice Question
Kelly has a home business making jewellery. It takes 2 hours for her to make each bracelet and 3.5 hours to make each necklace. Next month she plans to spend 140 hours to make jewellery. If she fills a special order for 22 bracelets at the beginning of the mouth and spends the rest of the month making necklaces, how many necklaces can Kelly make in the month
Answer Choices
- A: 52
- B: 27
- C: 40
- D: 31
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Total time = 140 hours. Bracelets: 22 * 2 = 44 hours. Remaining: 140 - 44 = 96 hours. Necklaces: 96 / 3.5 = 27.43 ? 27 (whole necklaces). Thus, the correct answer is 27.
