Machine A produces bolts at a uniform rate of 120 every 40 seconds, and Machine B produces bolts at a uniform rate of 100 every

20 seconds. If the two machines run simultaneously, how many seconds will it take for them to produce a total of 200 bolts?

Answer:

25 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

In order to answer this question, first we need to know how many bolts per second are produced by each machine, this can be known by dividing the number of bolts by the time it takes.

For machine A:

A = \frac{120 bolts}{40 s}= 3 \frac{bolts}{s}

For machine B:

B = \frac{100 bolts}{20 s}= 5 \frac{bolts}{s}

So, if the two machines run simultaneously, we will have a rate of prodcution of bolts equal to the sum of both:

A+B=(3+5)\frac{bolts}{s}=8\frac{bolts}{s}

Now, we need to know how much time it will take to producee 200 bolts, to find this out we need to divide the amount of bolts by the production rate:

t = \frac{bolts}{ProductionRate}= \frac{200 bolts}{8 \frac{bolts}{s} }

The <em>bolts</em> unit cancell each other and we are left with <em>seconds</em>

t = \frac{200}{8} s = 25 s

So it will take 25 seconds to produce 200 bolts with machine A and B running simultaneously.

Greetings!

Answer:

25 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Machine A produces bolts at a uniform rate of 120 every 40 seconds.

Bolts made by Machine A in one second would be \frac{120}{40}=3 bolts.

Machine B produces bolts at a uniform rate of 100 every 20 seconds.

Bolts made by Machine B in one second would be \frac{100}{20}=5 bolts.

The speed of making bolts in one second of both machines running simultaneously would be 3+5=8 bolts per second.

\text{Time taken by both Machines to make 200 bolts}=\frac{200\text{ bolts}}{8\frac{\text{bolts}}{\text{Sec}}}

\text{Time taken by both Machines to make 200 bolts}=\frac{200\text{ bolts}}{8}*\frac{\text{Sec}}{\text{bolts}}

\text{Time taken by both Machines to make 200 bolts}=25\text{ Sec}

Therefore, the both machines will take 25 seconds to make 200 bolts.

3 hours

You can turn this into an equation:

F = 26 + 31t
Where F is the money Ralph earned, and t is the number of hours he worked.

Plugging in the 119 for F, we get
119 = 26 + 31t

93 = 31t

3 = t
