Please help me with the following math question:

Assume that it takes approx. 1-1/2 minutes to unload a dozen identical items from a

delivery truck. At this speed, the AMOUNT of time it should take to unload a shipment of 876 items is, most nearly ______________ minutes. How do I arrive at this answer? I know you divide 1.50 by 12, which you get 0.125, but am stumped on how you get the FINAL ANSWER. PLEASE HELP. I have a test on Tuesday that I desperately need help!!! THANK YOU

Trina has 8000.00 in two accounts. One account pays .015% simple interest per year and the other pays .02% simple interest per year. If the total amount of interest at the end of the year is 142.50 set up a table that could be used to solve this problem.
