Problema Solution
A machine produces 255 bolts in 24 minutes. At the same rate, how many bolts would be produced in 40 minutes?
Answer provided by our tutors
The rate of the machine is:
v = 255 bolts / 24 min
v = 85/8 bolts per min
In t = 40 min the machine will produce:
v*t = (85/8)*40 = 425 bolts
