A shop produces 39 wetsuits every 2 weeks. How long will it take the shop to produce 429 wetsuits?
To find out how long it will take the shop to produce 429 wetsuits, we need to calculate the number of 2-week periods it will take for the shop to reach that quantity.
The shop produces 39 wetsuits every 2 weeks. So, in 1 two-week period, the shop produces 39 wetsuits.
To find out how many 2-week periods it will take to reach 429 wetsuits, we can set up a proportion:
(39 wetsuits / 1 two-week period) = (429 wetsuits / x two-week periods)
We can cross-multiply and solve for x:
39 * x = 429
Dividing both sides by 39:
x = 429 / 39
x ≈ 11
Therefore, it will take the shop approximately 11 two-week periods (or 22 weeks) to produce 429 wetsuits.
