Answer:
6N = T
They will take 96 minutes to add 16 seats.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the factory, the workers add bicycle seats at a rate of 2 seats every 12 minutes.
If the number of seats they add is N and the number of minutes it takes is T, then they are proportional i.e. N ∝ T.
⇒ N = kT ........... (1)
Now, N = 2 for T = 12 minutes.
So, from equation (1), 2 = 12k
⇒
Therefore, the equation (1) becomes
⇒ 6N = T ......... (2)
Now, for N = 16, from equation (2) we get,
T = 16 × 6 = 96 minutes.
Therefore, they will take 96 minutes to add 16 seats. (Answer)
