Time Calculation for Sample Preparation

Jess has started a business making natural cosmetic products and plans to distribute sample bags in her neighborhood. She calculates that preparing each bag takes two minutes. To prepare 1,200 bags alone, it would take her 2,400 minutes. However, with the help of seven friends, making a total of eight people, the task becomes eight times faster, reducing the time to 300 minutes. Converting this to hours, it takes five hours for Jess and her friends to complete the task.
