A factory has two assembly lines, M and N, that make the same toy. On Monday, only assembly line M was functioning and it made 900 toys.
On Tuesday, both assembly lines were functioning for the same amount of time. Line M made 300 toys per hour and line N made 480 toys per hour. Line N made as many toys on Tuesday as line M did over both days.
Write an equation that can be used to find the number of hours, t, that the assembly lines were functioning on Tuesday.
Answers
Answer:
t = 900/(N-M)
t = 5hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
A factory has two assembly lines, M and N, that make the same toy. On Monday, only assembly line M was functioning and it made 900 toys.
On Tuesday, both assembly lines were functioning for the same amount of time. Line M made 300 toys per hour and line N made 480 toys per hour. Line N made as many toys on Tuesday as line M did over both days.
Write an equation that can be used to find the number of hours, t, that the assembly lines were functioning on Tuesday.
ANS
Let say t is time in hrs for Which Both Assembly line worked
M made 300 toys per hr on Tuesday
Toys made on Tuesday at Assembly line M = 300 × t = 300t toys
N made 480 toys per hr on Tuesday
Toys made on Tuesday at Assembly line N = 480 × t = 480t toys
Toys Made by N on Tuesday = Toys made by M on Tuesday + Toys made by M on Monday
480t = 300t + 900
=> 180 t = 900
=> t = 900/180
=> t = 5 hr
N capacity on tuesday Per hour * t = M capacity on tuesday per hour * t + Toys made by M on Monday
N = N capacity on tuesday Per hour
M = M capacity on tuesday Per hour
=> t (N - M ) = 900
=> t = 900/(N-M)
Answer:
480t = 300t + 900
