Question

b) 4 machines of a factory can finish the required amount of production in 6 days. If one machine had machinery defect and stopped functioning, in how many days would the remaining machines finish the same quantity of production at the same rate of production?​

Answer 1

Answer = 8 days

Explanation:

Step 1: Find how long one machine takes to finish

1. 6 ∙ 4 = 24 days

Step 2: Divide 24 by 3 to get the rate of speed of 3 machines

2. 24 / 3 = 8 days
