For a Thanksgiving food drive, volunteers packed 50 boxes of food in 20 minutes. How many boxes did they pack per minute?
To find the number of boxes packed per minute, divide the total number of boxes packed by the time taken:
50 boxes / 20 minutes = <<50/20=2.5>>2.5 boxes per minute. Answer: \boxed{2.5}.
To find the number of boxes packed per minute, we can divide the total number of boxes (50) by the total time (20 minutes).
50 boxes ÷ 20 minutes = 2.5 boxes per minute
Therefore, the volunteers packed 2.5 boxes per minute during the Thanksgiving food drive.
To find out how many boxes were packed per minute, we can divide the total number of boxes packed by the time taken.
Number of boxes packed = 50 boxes
Time taken = 20 minutes
Boxes packed per minute = Number of boxes packed / Time taken
Boxes packed per minute = 50 boxes / 20 minutes
Boxes packed per minute = 2.5 boxes
Therefore, the volunteers packed 2.5 boxes per minute.
