Answer 1

110

Explanation:

A factory makes 5 recliners for every 2 couches that is produced.

The factory makes a total of 154 recliners and couches in a day

Let y represent the unit of work that was carried out in the factory

5y +2y= 154

7y= 154

y= 154/7

y = 22

Therefore the number of recliners made can be calculated as follows.

= 5 × 22

= 110

Hence 110 recliners were made
