2 parts.....ratio is 5:3...added = 8.....so one of the parts is 5/8 of the total...5/8x....and the other part is 3/8 of the total...3/8x

the difference is 6...
5/8x - 3/8x = 6
2/8x = 6
x = 6 * 8/2
x = 48/2
x = 24

so the total length is 24
with the longest being : 5/8(24) = 15 <==
and the shortest being : 3/8(24) = 9

You and a partner tend 3 machines that run continuously. One prints 200 plastic bottles per hour, one prints 180 plastic bottles
strojnjashka [21]
The first machine does 200 in 1 hour, so in 8.5 hours it will then do 200 * 8.5.

the second machine does 180 in 1 hour, so in 8.5 hours it will then do 180 * 8.5.

the third machine does 150 in 1 hour, so in 8.5 hours it will do then 150 * 8.5.

how many bottles will they all do in total on that time?

(200 * 8.5) + (180 * 8.5) + (150 * 8.5)
