Question

A tile company produces 7,500 tiles in 6 days. How many tiles does the company produce in 25 days?

a. 1,800 b.6,250 c. 31,250 d.187,500

Answer 1

C.31,250
6/7,500=25/x
187,500=6x
x=31,250

Answer 2

there r 2 ways u can do this...

(1) find the unit rate...
7500/6 = 1250 per day
for 25 days.....1250 * 25 = 31250 tiles <==

or

(2) proportion..
7500/6 = x / 25.....7500 tiles to 6 days = x tiles to 25 days
cross multiply
(6)(x) = (7500)(25)
6x = 187500
x = 187500/6
x = 31250 <==

either way, u should get the same answer
