we know that

A machine produces $75$ widgets an hour

How many widgets does it produce in $6$ minutes?

one hour is equal to ------> $60\ minutes$

by proportion

$\frac{75}{60} =\frac{x}{6} \\\\ 60*x= 75*6\\\\ x=\frac{75*6}{60}$

$x=7.5\ widgets$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

A machine produces $7\ widgets$ in $6$ minutes

75/60 is 1.25 and 1.25 times 6 is 7.5 but you can't produce a half widget so it is just 7
