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
