Question

A factory produces 30,480 bolts in

12 hours. If the same number of bolts are
produced each hour, how many bolts does the
factory produce in 5 hours?

Answer 1

12,700 bolts

Explanation:

First, we need to find the unit rate.

If the factory produces 30,480 bolts in

12 hours, then in 1 hour, it produces
`(30,480)/(12)= 2540` bolts.

If the same number of bolts are

produced each hour,then it can produce
`5* 2540=12700` bolts in 5 hours.

Therefore the factory produces 12,700 bolts in 5 hours.
