Problema Solution
A machine produces
264
bolts in
42
minutes. At the same rate, how many minutes would it take to produce
308
bolts?
Answer provided by our tutors
bolts per minute: 264/42
let 'm' represent the number of minutes to solve for the minutes it take to produce 308 bolts:
m = 308*(42/264)
----------------------
----------------------
m=49
So, at the same rate, it would take 49 minutes to produce 308 bolts.
