Ben takes 44 hours building an aeroplane.If he spends 4 hours a day working on it .
How many days did it take? 11 days
How many hours per day would he have to work if he wanted to finish it in 6 days??????

not sure how to work out the last part
Thank you

44 hours divided by 6 days = 7 hours 20 minutes a day

It takes him 44 hours to build the plane and he wants it to take 6 days.

So he would need to work 44/6 = 7 1/3 hours a day

Thank you for the quick responses

The clue is in the question. "hours per day" means take your hours and divide it by the number of days.
If you bought 4 apples for £1 (i.e. 100 pence) and you wanted to know the price per apple you would divide the total (100 pence) by the number of apples. 100/4= 25 pence per apple.

Seven and a half hours a day.

7x6 = 42
leaves 2 hours or 180 minutes divided by 6 =30 or 30 mins per day
7 hours 30 mins per day.

"leaves 2 hours or 180 minutes"

Oops =P

Oops!! 60x2 is 120 not 180 , 120/6 =20! Sorry seven hours twenty minutes per day for six days.
