A factory produces 272 chairs in an 8 hour shift. If the factory produces the same number of chairs each hour, how many chairs does it produce in 30 minutes?
If they make the same amount of chairs per hour they make 34 chairs every hour because 272 divided by 8 is 34, 30 minutes is half of one hour so they make half as many chairs and 34/2 is equal to 17
