Answer:

32

Explanation:

There are two ways of doing this.

Frist, divide the amount of bolts by time. This will get you the bolts produced in 1 minute.

195/20

=

9.75

Now we know that 9.75 bolts are produced every 1 minute.

Lets divide the 312 bolts by the bolts produced per minute. This will give us the amount of minutes it takes to produce the 312 bolts.

312/9.75

=

32.

This is our answer.

Another way of doing thisis to divide the 20 minutes by 195, this will give you how long it takes to produce a single bolt.

20/195

=

0.1025

Now, just multpliy it by 312, and you get how long it takes to produce 312 bolts.

0.1025*312

=

32

And again, you get the answer.

Hope this helps! ;)
