Question

A mill processes 27 tons of flour in 3 hours. How many tons of flour can the mill process in 8 hours if the rate of production stays the same?

Answer 1

There are a few ways you can go about solving this question. One way is to use the given information to find how many tons of flour can be processed in one hour. If 27 tons can be processed in 3 hours, we can do 27 divided by 3 to find that 9 tons of flour can be processed per hour. Then, if we want to see how many tons of flour can be processed in 8 hours, we can multiply 9 tons by 8 hours to get a total of 72 tons of flour.

I hope this helps.
