The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the possible amount of time, in hours, that Margo could take to peel and slice 60 dozen apples given her peeling rates. 1. **Identify the rates**: Margo can peel and slice at least 10 dozen apples per hour and at most 15 dozen apples per hour. 2. **Set up the variable**: Let \( h \) represent the time in hours that Margo takes to peel and slice 60 dozen apples. 3. **Calculate time at minimum speed**: - If Margo works at her minimum speed of 10 dozen apples per hour, the time taken to peel 60 dozen apples can be calculated as: \[ h \geq \frac{60 \text{ dozen}}{10 \text{ dozen/hour}} = 6 \text{ hours} \] This means that if she works at her slowest speed, she will take at least 6 hours. 4. **Calculate time at maximum speed**: - If Margo works at her maximum speed of 15 dozen apples per hour, the time taken to peel 60 dozen apples can be calculated as: \[ h \leq \frac{60 \text{ dozen}}{15 \text{ dozen/hour}} = 4 \text{ hours} \] This means that if she works at her fastest speed, she will take at most 4 hours. 5. **Combine the inequalities**: - From the calculations, we have two inequalities: - \( h \geq 4 \) (at maximum speed) - \( h \leq 6 \) (at minimum speed) - Combining these gives us: \[ 4 \leq h \leq 6 \] 6. **Conclusion**: The possible amount of time \( h \) that Margo could take to peel and slice 60 dozen apples is between 4 and 6 hours, inclusive. ### Final Answer: The possible amount of time that Margo could take is \( 4 \leq h \leq 6 \) hours. ---
