Question: Machine A produces 100 parts twice as fast as Machine B does. Machine B produces 100 parts in 40 minutes. If each machine produces parts at a constant rate, how many parts does Machine A produce in 6 minutes?
- 30
- 25
- 20
- 15
- 7.5
Correct Answer: A
Solution and Explanation:
Approach Solution 1:
Machine B produces 100 parts in 40 minutes. Since Machine A is twice as fast as Machine B, then Machine A produces 100 parts \(\frac{40}{2}=20\) in minutes.
In 6 minutes, Machine A produces \(\frac{6}{20}*100=30\) parts.
Approach Solution 2:
Machine B produces 100 parts in 40 minutes. Machine A produces 100 parts twice as fast as B, so Machine A produces 100 parts in 40/2 = 20 minutes.
Now, Machine A produces 100 parts in 20 minutes which is 100/20 = 5 parts/minutes
5 parts * a total of 6 minutes = 30
Approach Solution 3:
Given:
Machine A produces 100 parts twice as fast as Machine B.
Since Machine B produces 100 parts in 40 minutes, Machine A produces 100 parts in 20 minutes. (Both machines produces parts at a constant rate)
Number of parts produced by Machine A in 20 minutes = 100
Number of parts produced by Machine A in 1 minute = 100/20= 5
Number of parts produced by Machine A in 6 minutes = 6*5 = 30
“Machine A produces 100 parts twice as fast as Machine B does. Machine B produces 100 parts in 40 minutes.
