A new boutique hotel has 80 rooms and needs to hire staff to clean the rooms. If a typical employee can clean a room in about 30 minutes/room, how many employees will they need each day to clean the hotel in a shift lasting 8 hours?

Step 1: Determine the total time available for cleaning in minutes An 8-hour shift is equivalent to 8 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 480 minutes.

Step 2: Determine the total time needed to clean all rooms If one room takes 30 minutes to clean, then 80 rooms will take 80 rooms * 30 minutes/room = 2400 minutes.

Step 3: Determine the number of employees needed The number of employees needed is the total time needed to clean all rooms divided by the total time available for cleaning. So, 2400 minutes / 480 minutes = 5 employees.

Therefore, the hotel will need 5 employees to clean all the rooms in one 8-hour shift.

Step 1: Determine the total time available for cleaning in minutes An 8-hour shift is equivalent to 8 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 480 minutes.

Step 2: Determine the total time needed to clean all rooms If one room takes 30 minutes to clean, then 80 rooms will take 80 rooms * 30 minutes/room = 2400 minutes.

Step 3: Determine the number of employees needed The number of employees needed is the total time needed to clean all rooms divided by the total time available for cleaning. So, 2400 minutes / 480 minutes = 5 employees.

Therefore, the hotel will need 5 employees to clean all the rooms in one 8-hour shift.
