Question

In country​ A, about6 times as many cars are manufactured per day than in country B. If the total number of these cars manufactured per day is 46212 ​, find the number manufactured in country B and the number manufactured in country A

Answer 1

Let's denote the number of cars manufactured per day in country B as "x" and in country A as "6x" (since in country A, about 6 times as many cars are manufactured as in country B).

Given that the total number of cars manufactured per day is 46,212, we can set up the equation:

Number in country B (x) + Number in country A (6x) = Total number

x + 6x = 46,212

Combine like terms:

7x = 46,212

Now, solve for x (the number of cars manufactured in country B):

x = 46,212 / 7

x = 6,601

So, the number of cars manufactured per day in country B is 6,601.

Now, to find the number of cars manufactured per day in country A:

Number in country A = 6x = 6 * 6,601 = 39,606

Therefore, the number of cars manufactured per day in country A is 39,606.
