1800 boxes with 24 candies each
Total = 1800 * 24 = 43 200 candies
The machine makes 600 candies in 1 minute
1 candy would take (1/600) minute
43 200 candies would take 43200 * 1/600 = 72
= 72 minutes.
Therefore the 1800 boxes would be done in 72 minutes.
The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions. The smaller area is
.. (27 in^2)*(8/12)^2 = 27*(4/9) in^2 = 12 in^2
I don't think that you can. Integers are either positive or negative real numbers without decimals, so there isn't anything to simplify.
