If machine a can make 350 widgets in 1 hour and machine b can make 250 widgets in 1 hour then by forming equation we will get that both machines have to work for one hour and 40 minutes to make 1000 widgets.
Given that machine a can make 350 widgets in 1 hour, and machine b can make 250 widgets in 1 hour.
How much time will both machines take to make 1000 widgets?
Suppose the time taken by both machines be x hours. Time is equal because both the machines need to work together.
According to the question the equation will be as under:
350x+250x=1000
600x=1000
x=1000/600
x=10/6
x=5/3
x=1.67
Converting 0.67 to minutes 0.67*60=40.2
Adding will result 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Hence if machine a can make 350 widgets in 1 hour and machine b can make 250 widgets in 1 hour then by forming equation we will get that both machines have to work for one hour and 40 minutes to make 1000 widgets.
