1. Divide the target number of shirts, 12,600 by the company's rate of making the shirts. That is,

number of hours = 12,600 shirts / (1200 shirts/6 hours)

= 63 hours

2. Determine the number of workdays for them to complete the shirts by dividing 63 hours by 9 hours/workday. This will give us an answer of 7 workdays.
