Question

A toy manufacturer uses 90 pints of plastic to make 600 action figures. If they use 810 pints of plastic in an 8 hour shift, how many action figures are made per hour

Answer 1

Number of action figures made per hour is 675.

• Number of action figure that can be made by 1 pint of plastic = 600/90

                                                                                                              = 20/3

• Pints of plastic used per hour = 810/8

                                                    = 405/4

• Number of action figures made per hour = (Number of action figure that       can be made by 1 pint of plastic)* Pints of plastic used per hour

                                                                        = (20/3) * (405/4)

                                                                        = 675
