Question

10 is 1/2 of 1/3 of 1/4 of the number of machines. How many machines are there in a factory ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of machines be x

so given in the question         10= 1/2 × 1/4 × 1/3 × x   (of means ×)

so by simplyfing  this we get

10= 1/24 × x                              (as 1/2 × 1/3 × 1/4 = 1/24)

by cross multiplication

10 × 24 = x × 1

so the number of machines = x = 240
