Foley · Answer 1

C) 57,600 marbles

C) 460,800 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to determine how many minutes in 8 hours

8 hours * 60 minutes/1 hour = 480 minutes

Take the marbles per minute * time in minutes

120 marbles / minutes * 480 minutes = 57600 marbles

This would be the number of marbles per shift

4 days with 2 shifts per day = 8 shifts per week

8 shifts * 57600 marbles / shift = 460800 marbles per week
