If it takes 2 machines 2 minutes to make 2 widgets, how long would it take 200 machines to make 200 widgets?

So. From the first part of the sentence we get that a single machine makes a single widget for a minute. Knowing this we can conclude, that it would take only a minute for 200 machines to make 200 widgets because every machine makes one widget for a minute.
