Question

Two machine produce 1600 yard of twine in a day. machine one produces twice as much as machine two. how much does each machine produce.?

Answer 1

Let's 'machine B' produces x twine, so 'Machine A' produces 2x twine. Combining both results in 1600 yard, so: x+2x=1600

solving this equation results x = 533.33

So, 'Machine A' produces 2x= 1066.66 yards

and 'Machine B' produces x = 533.33 yards
