Question

A compack company required 35 machines to produce a given number of compacks in 60 days. How many machines would be required to produce the same number of compacks in 50 days?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

35 machines are required to produce a given number of compacts in 60 days

let the number of machines to do the required work in 50 days be x

machines:days

35:60

  x:50

60x = 35 × 50

x = 35 × 50/60

x = 29.1≈29

therefore, 29 machines will be required to the work in 50 days
