Question

A drilling machine can drill 12 holes in 6 minutes. if the drilling machine drills at a constant speed, it can drill ___ holes in 25 minutes.

Answer 1

Do a proportion to solve this


`(12)/(6) * (x)/(25)`


`6 x = 300`


`x = 50` holes in 25 minutes

Answer 2

t would be 50 holes because if you simplify 12 and 6 by 6 that would be 2 hole in every minute. If you apply that to the 25 minutes then the amount of holes would be 50 because the amount of holes would be double the minutes
