Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We are given that each worker can produce 2/5 of a shirt in an hour or 1/4 of a pair of pants in an hour.
Let's calculate the total production of shirts and pants per hour by 500 workers:
For shirts:
Total production in an hour by 500 workers = (2/5) × 500 = 200
For pants:
Total production in an hour by 500 workers = (1/4) × 500 = 125
Therefore, the maximum number of pairs of pants that can be made in an hour is 125.
Hence, the answer is B) 250.
