Problema Solution
A machine produces 158 items in 12 minutes. At the same rate, how many items will it produce in 8 hours
Answer provided by our tutors
the rate of the machine v = the number of items produce/the time spent thus
v = 158/12
v = 79/6 items per minute
if the time t = 8 hr = 8*60 = 480 min then the number of items x = rate*time that is
x = v*t
x = (79/6)*480
x = 6,320 items
the machine will produce 6,320 items in 8 hours.
