Sarah works for 8 minutes and for every 8 minutes she gains 23 coins everytime she works and she is saving for 2,000 coins in total. How many hours will it take Sarah to get 2,000 coins?

11.59 hours  {Basically 12 hours]

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's coin rate is 23 coins/8 minutes, or 2.875 coins/minute

Rate * Time(X) = Coins

(2.875 coins/min)*(X) = 2000 coins

X = (2000 coins)/(2.875 coins/min)

X =  695.65 minutes

(695.65 minutes)*(1 hour/60minutes) = 11.59 hours
