Ashely recently opened a store that uses only nautral ingredients. she wants to advise her product by distrubting bags of samples in her neighborhood. It takes one person 2/3  of a minute to prepare one bag.  How many hours will it take Ashley and 4 friends  to prepare 1575 bags of samples  

To determine how long it will take Ashley and her 4 friends to prepare 1,575 bags of samples, we can follow these steps:

1. **Time to prepare one bag by one person**:  
   Each person takes \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a minute to prepare one bag.

2. **Time for all 5 people (Ashley and 4 friends) to prepare one bag**:  
   Since all 5 people are working together, the total time for the group to prepare one bag is:
   \[
   \text{Time per bag} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ minutes per person} \div 5 \text{ people}
   \]
   \[
   = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{15} \text{ minutes per bag (for the group)}.
   \]

3. **Total time to prepare 1,575 bags**:  
   Now, multiply the time per bag by the number of bags:
   \[
   \text{Total time} = 1,575 \times \frac{2}{15} = 210 \text{ minutes}.
   \]

4. **Convert minutes to hours**:  
   Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, convert the total time to hours:
   \[
   \text{Total time in hours} = \frac{210}{60} = 3.5 \text{ hours}.
   \]

Thus, it will take Ashley and her 4 friends **3.5 hours** to prepare 1,575 bags.

2. What if only 3 people were working instead of 5?
3. How much time would it take if they prepared 2,000 bags instead of 1,575?
4. How many people would be needed to prepare the bags in just 2 hours?
5. What if each person took 1 minute per bag instead of \( \frac{2}{3} \) minutes?
