Question

The number of phones produced in one hour by two manufacturing companies were in the ratio 9:5 and their differences was 40,000. How many phones did each company produce

Answer 1

Answer:
`\boxed {90,000}`,
`\boxed {50,000}`

Explanation:

The difference between 9 and 5 in the ratio is 4, and the actual number is 40 000. Therefore, one unit of the ratio must equal 40 000 divided by 4, or 10 000. Now we can calculate each number in the ratio:

Company 1:

`10,000 *9=\boxed{90,000}`

Company 2:

`10, 000 * 5 = \boxed {50, 000}`
