Question

Suppose that 8 machines can complete a certain task in 6 days. If there are 12 machines, how many days would it take for them to finish the same task?1 days

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Since we have 8 machines, we can apply the following relationship:

`(8)/(12)=(x)/(6)`

Multiplying both sides by 6:

`6\cdot(8)/(12)=x`

Multiplying numbers:

`(48)/(12)=x`

Simplifying:

`4=x`
