Question

A machine can produce 6 yards of fabric in 2 minutes. How many minutes will be enough to produce 1 yard

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3 minutes or 0.33 minutes or 20 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the unitary method:

To produce 6 yards of fabric = 2 minutes

To produce 1 yard of fabric = 2/6 minutes

                                             = 1/3 minutes = 20 seconds

OR

Time taken to produce 6 yards = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Time taken to produce 1 yard = 120/6 = 20 seconds = 1/3 minutes

Both these methods are similar
