A machine produces 305 bolts in 30 minutes. At the same rate how many bolts would be produced in 24 minutes?
.
Since the machine can produce bolts at a rate of:
305/30
That's "305 bolts per 30 minutes"
.
To find how many bolts are made in 24 minutes we multiply the rate by 24:
24 * 305/30
= 7320/30
= 244 bolts
