5 shoes in 3 minutes --> 100 shoes in 60 minutes --> 800 shoes in 8 hours

There are 20 3-minute intervals in one hour, so100 shoes can be boxed in an hour, so 800 can be boxed in 8 hours.

8 hrs= 480 mins. if 5 shoes can be made in 3 mins and you put min/shoes then that will be 3/5=480/x, cross multiply...2400=3x, divide both sides by three, 80-0 shoes can be boxed in 8 hours
