Sample Problem Solutions!! • Method 1: Strategy: Find how much 4 volunteers can do in one hour. If 4 volunteers can pack 12 boxes every 30 minutes, then 4 volunteers can pack 24 boxes every hour. In order to pack 72 boxes in an hour, 3 times as many volunteers are needed since 72 ÷ 24 = 3. So 12 volunteers are needed to do the job. Therefore, 8 additional volunteers are needed • Method 2: Strategy: Find how many boxes 1 volunteer can do in one hour. If 4 volunteers can pack 12 boxes every 30 minutes, then 1 volunteer can pack ¼ as many boxes in 30 minutes, or 3 boxes. One volunteer can then pack 6 boxes in one hour. To pack 72 boxes requires 12 volunteers, so 8 additional volunteers are needed
