Question

Two people can make 2 bicycles in 2 hours. How many people are needed to make 12 bicycles in 6 hours?

Answer 1

If two people can make 2 bicycles in 2 hours, it means that each person can make 1 bicycle in 2 hours.

To determine how many people are needed to make 12 bicycles in 6 hours, we can set up a proportion:

2 bicycles / 2 hours = 1 bicycle / x hours

Simplifying the proportion, we get:

2/2 = 1/x

Cross-multiplying, we find:

2x = 2

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 1

Therefore, it would take 1 person to make 1 bicycle in 6 hours. Since we need to make 12 bicycles, we would need 12 people to accomplish this task in 6 hours.

Answer 2

To answer this question you need to know how many bikes are needed.
