You're a manager in a company that produces rocket ships. Machine A and Machine B both

produce cockpits and propulsion systems. Machine A ran for 22 hours and produced 3 cockpits
and 5 propulsion systems. Machine B ran for 44 hours and produced 6 cockpits and 10
propulsion systems.
Assume both machines produce cockpits at the same rate and both produce propulsion systems
at the same rate.

Explanation:

so, what's the question ?

I don't need to "assume" that both machines have the same rate. it is clearly written there :

A produces in 22 hours 3 cockpits and 5 propulsion systems.

and B produces in twice the time (44 hours) twice the results (6 cockpits, 10 propulsion systems).

that means they have exactly the same production rate for both products.

so, this is confirmed. but what should we do now with this information ?
