A machine produces 312 bolts in 30 minutes. At the same rate, how many minutes would it take to produce 260 bolts?

312 bolts in 30 mins
or 312 bots in 1800 seconds

Time for 1 bolt is 1800 / 312 = 5.77secs (rounded to two figures)

260 bolts would take:
260 x 5.77 = 1500secs (rounded)

1500secs = 1500 / 60 mins = 25mins
