<PRE><B>Question 677475</B>
( seats made ) / ( time to make them ) = ( seats made ) / ( time to make them )
{{{ 2 / 11 = 16 / t }}}
Multiply both sides by {{{ 11t }}}
{{{ 2t = 11*16 }}}
{{{ 2t = 176 }}}
{{{ t = 88 }}} min

You can also solve this way:
it will take him half as long to make just 1 seat
or {{{ 11/2 = 5.5 }}} min
16 seats will take him 16 times as long, or
{{{ 16*5.5 = 88 }}} min</PRE>
