Question 1144814
<font face="times" color="black" size="3">
15 CD players in 8 hours
x CD players in 37 hours


For each sentence above, divide the values in the order from left to right to form these fractions: 15/8 and x/37


Now equate the two fractions and cross multiply to isolate x


{{{15/8 = x/37}}}


{{{15*37 = 8*x}}} cross multiply


{{{555 = 8x}}} 


{{{8x = 555}}} 


{{{8x/8 = 555/8}}} Divide both sides by 8


{{{x = 555/8}}}


{{{x = 69.375}}}


Rounding to the nearest integer, the answer is 69.
