To find out how many cans of lollipops will be produced in 22 minutes, we can use the given information to determine the production rate of the factory.
We know that in 8 minutes, the factory produces 340 cans of lollipops.
To find the production rate per minute, we divide the number of cans produced by the number of minutes:
Production rate = 340 cans / 8 minutes
Simplifying this, we find that the production rate is 42.5 cans per minute.
Now, we can use the production rate to calculate the number of cans produced in 22 minutes:
Number of cans produced = Production rate * Number of minutes
Substituting the values:
Number of cans produced = 42.5 cans/minute * 22 minutes
Calculating this, we find that the factory will produce approximately 935 cans of lollipops in 22 minutes.
Therefore, if the factory continues at the same rate, it will produce approximately 935 cans of lollipops in 22 minutes.
