Question

In Johnson Corporation, the first shift produced 8 1/2 times as many lightbulbs as the second shift. If the total lightbulbs produced was 24,700, how many lightbulbs were produced on shift 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

2600 bulbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The no. of bulbs produced in the first shift = 8 1/2x = 8.5x

Total bulbs produced = 24,700

x + 8.5x = 24,700

9.5x = 24,700

x = 24,700/ 9.5

x = 2600 bulbs

(/ = divide)

Answer 2

Answer:

Let x,

The number of bulbs produced in the second shift be x.

The number of bulbs produced in the first shift=8 1/2x=8.5x

Solve x,

Total bulbs produced= 24,700

x+8.5x= 24,700

9.5x= 24,700

x= 24,700÷9.5x

x= 26,000 bulbs.

Find the number of bulbs produced on second shift :

Number of bulbs=x=26,000
