Answer 1

Answer:

180 fabric will be produced

1 hour equals 60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

by X method

6:2

x:60

by cross multiplication

2x=60×6

x=360÷2

Answer 2

Question

A machine can produce 6 yards of fabric in 2 minutes. How much fabric can the machine produce in 1 hour? (Hint: when setting up your proportion, you will need to change the 1 hour into minutes)

Answer:

If the machine can spin 6 yards of fabric in 2 minutes then it can spin 180 yards of fabric in an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

if we need to find for 1 hour we need to convert hours into minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

so now,

if a machine can produce 6yards in 2 minutes then how much it can produce in 60 minutes ( 1 hour )

 = $\frac{60*6}{2}$

 = 30*6

 =  180

If the machine can spin 6 yards of fabric in 2 minutes then it can spin 180 yards of fabric in an hour
