For the rate of 25 pieces and hour it will take 7 hours.

500 - 325 = 175

175 : 25 = 7

7 hours

Rodolfo Rhodes · Answer 2

Answer:The answer is 7 hours here is how I solved it. If it's out of 500 pieces and you've already done 325 then lets minus that so we only have to deal with the left over pieces. So 500 - 325 which will give you 175 from there let's divide it by 25 to see how many hours it will take. Once you divide you will get 7 you can double check by doing 7 times 25 then add that to 325 to get 500 pieces.
