This problem is an
example of ratio and proportion. A ratio is a comparison between two different
things. You are given the time of about 26.1 seconds to fold 1
shirt. Also you are given 48 shirts. You are required to find the time
in seconds to fold 48 shirts. The solution of this problem is,



26.1 seconds /1
shirt = time/ 48
shirts

time = (48 shirts)
(26.1 seconds /1 shirt)

time = 1,252.8
seconds

The time
it takes to fold 48 shirts is 1,252.8 seconds.
