Question 32571: Dear tutors,
Please explain to me how to solve this problem.
A stamping machine produces 100 gaskets per hour. When this machine works with a newer machine, the two machines, working simultaenously and independently at their respective constant rates, produce a total of 2,000 gaskets in 8 hours. How many gaskets does the newer machine produce per hour?
Thanks and regards,
Tolly
Answer by mukhopadhyay(490)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Prodcution rate of existing stamping machine is 100 gaskets/hr
Existing machine produces 800 gasket in 8 hours.
The new machine must produce 1200 gaskets in 8 hours, implying the production rate of the new stamping machine as 1200/8 = 150 gaskets per hour.
