Question

a factory produces gaskets at a constant rate after 6 hours 4620 gaskets have been produced how many gaskets does the factory produce per hour

Answer 1

The factory produces 770 gaskets per hour

Solution:

Given that, A factory produces gaskets at a constant rate

After 6 hours 4620 gaskets have been produced

To find: Gaskets produced by factory per hour

We have been given that 4620 gaskets is produced in 6 hours. So in one hour number of gaskets produced can be found by dividing 4620 by 6

`\text { Number of gaskets produced in } 1 \text { hour }=(4620)/(6)=770`

So per hour, 770 gaskets are produced

Verification:

Gaskets produced in 6 hours = 6 x number of gaskets produced per hour

Gaskets produced in 6 hours = 6 x 770 = 4620

Hence our solution is correct
