Question

An industrial factory makes / yards of chain every minute. The cost of each yard of chain is $2.00. What is the total cost for all chain produced in 10 minutes?

Answer 1

Cost = $86.67

Explanation:

Given

Yards = 4⅓ (missing part of the question)

Cost per yard = $2.00

Required

Determine cost of chains produced in 10 minutes

If 4⅓ yards is made in a minute, then

4⅓ * 10 yards are made in 10 minutes

Total = 4⅓ * 10

Total = 13/3 * 10

Total = 130/3 yards

Cost of a yard of chain is $2.00.

Cost of 130/3 yards would be:

Cost = $2.00 * 130/3

Cost = $260.00/3

Cost = $86.67 (approximated)

Hence, the required cost is approximately $86.67
