4) 13,750
5) 1,375

Answer 1

In the given scenario, the number of light bulbs produced on the first shift can be calculated using the information provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given scenario, let's assume the number of light bulbs produced on the second shift as x. According to the problem, the first shift produced __ times as many light bulbs as the second shift.

Therefore, the number of light bulbs produced on the first shift would be __x.

Given that the total number of light bulbs produced was 16,250, we can set up the following equation:

x + __x = 16,250

Simplifying the equation:

2x = 16,250

x = 16,250 / 2 = 8,125

So, the number of light bulbs produced on the first shift would be __x = 8,125 * __ = 16,250.
