Question 1204104
The Rand Co. produces 11 times as many rings on shift one as on shift two. If a total of 12,000 rings were produced, how many were produced on each shift?

Let number of rings produced in shift two be x

Rand Co. produces 11 times as many rings on shift one as on shift two

In shift one 11x rings are produced.

Total of 12,000 rings were produced

x+11x = 12000

12x = 12000
divide by 12 both sides

x = 12000/12

x = 1000
On shift two, 1,000 rings were produced.

In shift one 11x rings are produced. =11x = 11*1000 =11000

On shift one, 11,000 rings were produced.
