Let's begin by finding how many bolts the machine produces in 1 minute. If the machine produces 369 bolts in 36 minutes, it prouduces 369%2F36 bolts in 1 minute. 369%2F36+=+10.25 bolts per minute.

Now that we know how many bolts the machine produces in one minute, we can multiply that number by 32 minutes to find out how many bolts are produced in 32 minutes.

10.25%2A32=328
