<em><u>Question:</u></em>

A machine made 2 2/6 pencils in 3 3/4 minutes. How many pencils would the machine have made after 9 minutes?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

\frac{504}{90}\ or\ 5.6 pencils is made after 9 minutes

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

A machine made 2 2/6 pencils in 3 3/4 minutes

Which means,

2\frac{2}{6} = \frac{14}{6}

3\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{4}

Let "x" be the number of pencils made in 9 minutes

Therefore,

\frac{14}{6}\ pencils = \frac{15}{4}\ minutes\\\\x\ pencil = 9\ minutes

This forms a proportion and we can solve by cross multiplying

\frac{14}{6} \times 9 = \frac{15}{4} \times x\\\\x = \frac{14}{6} \times 9 \times \frac{4}{15}\\\\x = \frac{504}{90}\\\\x = 5.6

Thus, \frac{504}{90}\ or\ 5.6 pencils is made after 9 minutes
