Question

Working simultaneously, six fudge machines complete a big order in 36 hours. All the machines at the fudge factory work at the same pace. If only half of the machines are working, in how many hours will the order be complete? Plss help!

Answer 1

The answer is 72 hours

First found the machines
1/2 of the six machines = 3 machines
36x6=time x 3
216= time x 3
If you do the calculations
Time = 72 hours

So the order will be complete in 72 hours
