Question

Cars are made in a factory at a rate of 39 cars every 3hours at this rate, how many cars can be made on the factory in 7 hours

Answer 1

Explanation:

39 cars every 3 hrs.......that means (39/3) = 13 cars every hr

and if its 13 cars every hr....in 7 hrs, there will be (7 * 13) = 91 cars <==

you can either do it that way....the unit rate way...OR

you can set it up as a proportion...

39 cars to 3 hrs = x cars to 7 hrs...

39 / 3 = x / 7....cross multiply

(3)(x)= (39)(7)

3x = 273

x = 273/3

x = 91 <====

either way, u get the correct answer
