Question 787219: Please help me solve this:

I've asked this same question the first time and no tutor helped me yet!

If 12 people are needed to run four machines, how many people are needed to run 20 machines

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
12 people run 4 machines, how many are needed for 20?
20 divided by 4 = 5
12 x 5 = 60
you need 60 people to run 20 machines
or you could divide 12 by 4, = 3, then multiply by 20 to get 60
