Last night we gathered in the Hoop Factory (which is my living room) to make hula hoops and enjoyed a productive time cutting, connecting, and taping. We also snacked and chatted. Our final count for the night was 15 hoops completed.
Now a mathematical word problem. If five people work for 3 hours and make 15 hoops, how many people are needed to make 65 hoops in 7 hours? Whatever the answer is, that’s the number of people we’ll need to finish the hoops in the next two Hoop Factory sessions on 1/27 and 2/4. Hope to see you there.

I think that the answer is 65/7 people, or 9 and 2/7 people per hour.
