Question

a machine produce 24 screws in 5 minutes (a) how long it take to produce 10000 screws

Answer 1

Hey Mate,

Given.

A machine produces 24 screw in 5 minutes. Then,

Let us take 1 screw to be "x". Then,

=> 24x = 5 minutes

On transposing 24 from LHS to RHS, we get:-

=> x = 5/24 minutes

Therefore, 1 screw can be produced in 5/24 minutes.

So, to find how much time will it take to produce 10000 screw, we will multiply the duration for 1 screw by 10000, i.e., ( 5/24 ) by 10000

=> 10000x = ( 5/24 ) * 10000

=> 10000x = 50000/24

=> 10000x = 25000/12

=> 10000x = 12500/6

=> 10000x = 6250/3

=> 10000x = 2083$\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore, it will take 2083$\frac{1}{3}$ minutes to produce 10000 screws.

Hope it Helps!
