At NorthBridge Fulfillment Center, a standard workday is 8 hours and a standard workweek is 5 workdays. A shift supervisor observed that a clerk can scan and log incoming packages at a rate of 1 package every 50 seconds. The supervisor wants to restate this rate using the warehouse’s standard units.
Based on the given information, select for pkg/day the equivalent rate in packages per workday and select for pkg/wk the equivalent rate in packages per workweek. Make only two selections, one in each column.
The clerk scans 1 package every 50 seconds.
First, find how many packages are scanned per hour. There are 60 seconds * 60 minutes = 3600 seconds in an hour. Packages per hour = 3600/50 = 72.
A standard workday is 8 hours. So packages per workday = 72 * 8 = 576.
A standard workweek is 5 workdays. So packages per workweek = 576 * 5 = 2880.
Therefore, select 576 for pkg/day and 2880 for pkg/week.

GMAT Club Official Explanation:
The clerk scans 1 package every 50 seconds.
First, find how many packages are scanned per hour. There are 60 seconds * 60 minutes = 3600 seconds in an hour. Packages per hour = 3600/50 = 72.
A standard workday is 8 hours. So packages per workday = 72 * 8 = 576.
A standard workweek is 5 workdays. So packages per workweek = 576 * 5 = 2880.
Therefore, select 576 for pkg/day and 2880 for pkg/week.

convert 8 hours to second
and to get the packages/day
we get it by dividing by time in making 1 pkg - 50 sec
8 * 60 * 60 / 50
= 576
now miltiplingy it by 5 days ( in a week)
= 576* 5 = 2880
576, 2880
