Question

A tile company produces 7,500 tiles in 6 days. how many will they produce in 25 days

Answer 1

31,250

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to cross multiply.

Here are the values set up:

`(6)/(7,500) =(25)/(x)`

Next we cross multiply. We multiply 7,500 and 25, and we multiply 6 and x.

`7,500(25)=187,500`

`6(x)=6x`

Now, lets put the values above back into the equation:

`187,500=6x`

The last step is to get x by itself by dividing 187,500 by 6:

`x=(187,500)/(6)`

`x=31,250`

The tile company will produce 31,250 tiles in 25 days.
