Question

Pls help me to answer

Answer 1

11 machines can create 8,250 pens in 2 hours.

Explanation:

5 machines can create 15,000 pens in 8 hours.Therefore, the rate of production per machine is: 15,000 pens / 5 machines / 8 hours = 375 pens per machine per hour

(number of pens) = (11 machines) x (2 hours) x (375 pens per machine per hour)

(number of pens) = 8,250 pens

Answer 2

11 machines can produce 8250 pens in 2 hours

Explanation:

1.) First, find out how many pens 5 machines can produce in 2 hours. You would just have to divide the number of pens, 15000, by 4, because 8 divided by 4 is 2. 15000 divided by 4 is 3750.

2.) Now, since you know that 5 machines produce 3750 pens in 2 hours, you can just multiply 3750 by 11/5, because 5 times 11/5 is 11 hours. 11/5 times 3750 is 8250. Therefore, 11 machines can produce 8250 pens in 2 hours.
