Question

At a factory, the number of workers cars produced is directly proportional to the number of hours factory workers are making the cars. It takes 45 hours to make 60 cars. Use a proportion to find how long it will take to make 250 cars?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

187.5 hours

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours required to make 250 cars.

hours/cars = 45/60 = x/250

Multiply by 250:

x = 250(45/60) = 187.5 . . . hours

It will take 187.5 hours to make 250 cars.
