Question

24.. A toy company makes 40 plastic harmonicas in 30 minutes. At this

rate how long will it take to make 200 harmonicas?
Proportions

Answer 1

6.7 minutes

Explanation:

From what we know, we will have to divide. The things we are dividing are the 30 minutes it took to make the 40 plastic harmonicas and the total we need of harmonicas, which is 200. By dividing 200 by 30, we get 6.666666666666667. But, we can't have that long answer, so we need to round up. Which is when we get our quotient of 6.7 minutes. If I'm wrong, please, don't be afraid to correct me. And have a good day stranger!

Edit: This answer is wrong. I was corrected and now I know what the answer is. Please do avoid this answer. But have a good day to anyone sees this!

Answer 2

It will take 2 and a half hours

Explanation:

Well 40 can go into 200 5 times so you would do 5 times 30 minutes which would be 150 minutes and then you would divide it by 60 to simplify which would be 2 hours and 30 minutes. So it will take 2 and a half hours to make 200 harmonicas.

200/40 = 5

5 * 30 = 150

150/60 = 2 hours and 30 minutes
