Assume that all chickens have 4725 feathers. if it takes you 5.6 seconds to pluck 24.8 feathers, how many hours would it take you to defeather 7728 chickens? answer in units of hours.

This question needs to be solved in steps rather than all at once. That being said, will start by find "feathers per second" or f/s.

So it takes 5.6 seconds to plucks 24.8 feathers. To find f/s we needs to find 24.8 divided by 5.6 which is 4.429f/s.

Now we need to find how long it will take to pluck one entire chicken. Since it takes us one second to pluck 4.429 feathers, we need to divide 4,725 by 4.429 to find how many seconds it will take us to pluck an entire chicken. This value is 1,066.832 seconds.

Since it takes us 1,066.832 seconds to pluck one chicken, it will take us

7,728 • 1,066.832 seconds to pluck 7,728 chickens. This value is 8,244,477.696 seconds.

To convert seconds to hours, we need to divide by 60 to get minutes and then divide by 60 again to reach our desired unit of measurement: hours

8,244,477.696 / 60 / 60 = 2,290.133 hours
