Question

at the beginning of a month a factory has enough materials to make 240 tonnes of steel in month . if 60 more tonnes of steel is to be made that month how long will the material last​

Answer 1

Answer:

So, 240+60 = 300 Tonnes of steel to be manufactured in the month. Therefore, More steel manufactured, less days the material will last.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 30 days steel manufactured =240 tonnes

Now, 60 more tonnes of steel is to be manufactured in that month.

So,

240+60=300 Tonnes of steel to be manufactured in the month.

Therefore,

More steel manufactured, fewer days the material will last.

This is an inverse proportion.

240:300::30:x

300x=240.30

300x=7200

x=

300

7200

x=24

So, the material will last for 24 days.
