90 workers. How many workers should make lenses?
Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since two lenses go into each pair of frames, you need twice as many lenses as frames.
Since each worker can make twice as many lenses as frames, then you need the same number of workers making lenses as frames.

So then in one day, 45 workers will make frames and 45 workers will make lenses.
Since , you will have a balanced production.
