Question 641848
In the Carco Auto Factory, robots assemble cars. If 3 robots assemble 17 cars in 10 minutes, how many cars can 14 robots assemble in 45 minutes if all robots work at the same rate all the time?
----------------------
# of cars is directly related to # of robots and directly to amt. of time.
----------------------
c = k*r*t
--------
Solve for "k" using "3 robots assemble 17 cars in 10 minutes"
17 = k*3*10
k = 17/30
----
Equation:
c = (17/30)r*t
-----
How many cars can 14 robots assemble in 45 minutes if all robots work at the same rate all the time?
--------
c = (17/30)*14*45
# of cars = 357
