Question

De acuerdo con los registros de una empresa, se requieren 54 toneladas de naranjas para producir 45 toneladas de concentrado en polvo para preparar jugo. Si este año la empresa tiene como meta producir 66 ton de concentrado, ¿cuántas toneladas de naranja requerirán aproximadamente?

Answer 1

79.2 tons

Explanation:

What must be done is to apply a proportion rule, taking into account what happened in the registry and what is wanted for this new year. In the following way we can calculate the amount of tons of oranges.

Powder concentrate Oranges

45 tons -------------------------> 54 Tons

66 tons -------------------------> X Tons

X = 66 * 54/45

X = 79.2, that is to say that 79.2 tons are necessary to produce 66 tons of powder concentrate to make juice.
