4/15 = 0.267
8/25 = 0.32
0.267/0.32 = 0.834375
Answer:
- first shift: 13,750 bulbs
- second shift: 2500 bulbs
Step-by-step explanation:
The production ratio is ...
shift 1 : shift 2 = 5.5 : 1 = 11 : 2
so, the production on shift 1 as a ratio to the total is ...
shift 1 : total = 11 : (11+2) = 11 : 13
The first shift produced ...
(11/13)(16,250 bulbs) = 13,750 bulbs . . . . first shift
and the second shift produced ...
(2/13)(16,250 bulbs) = 2,500 bulbs . . . . second shift
_____
Of course, once you have one of the numbers, you can also find the other by using the 5.5 factor or by subtracting from total production.
2a.) 8.8 x 4 = 35.2g
2b.) 35.2 x 30 = 1056g or 1.056kg
