Answer:
<em>X ball bearings will be made in 1 hour and 20 minutes</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions </u>
The proportions give us an important tool to easily solve common problems of any type. We know that:
Company ABC can make X ball bearings in 3 hours.
Company DEF can make X ball bearings in 4 hours.
Company GHI can make X ball bearings in 6 hours.
In one hour, each company can make
ABC: X/3 ball bearings
DEF: X/4 ball bearings
GHI: X/6 ball bearings
Working together, they can make
ball bearings. Operating
If they can make 3/4 of a ball bearing in one hour, then one complete ball bearing will need
hours to complete. It's equivalent to 1 1/3 hours or 1 hour and 20 minutes
