Question

Answer 1

114/6=x/15
x=(114*15)/6
x=285

Answer 2

285 parts can be produced in 15 minutes

Explanation:

Given :- A machinist can produce 114 parts in 6 mins

Number of parts that are produced in 1 minute = 114 ÷ 6

Number of parts that are produced in 1 minute = 19

If 19 parts can be produced in 1 minute then,

Number of parts produced in 15 minutes = 15 × 19

Number of parts produced in 15 minutes = 285 parts
