Question

Your plant runs two assembly lines. The first line produces 1,250 units a day and the second produces 2,825 units a day. What is the ratio of production of the first line to the second line?

Answer 1

`(50)/(113)` or
`0.442`

Explanation:

We are given that a plant runs two assembly lines, the first one produces 1,250 units a day while the second produces 2,825 units a day.

We are to find the ratio of production of the first line to the second line.

To find this production ratio, we would just simply divide the the production unit of first line with the production unit of the second line.

Ratio of production of the first line to the second line =
`(1250)/(2825)` =
`(50)/(113)` or
`0.442`

Answer 2

`(50)/(113)`

Explanation:

The ratio is simply the division of one by another (and simplification).

Hence, the ratio of production of the first line to the second line is 1250 divided by 2825. So,

Ratio =
`(1250)/(2825)=(50)/(113)`
