Given:
A mill processes 27 tons of flour in 3 hours
Solution:
[tex] Number \; of \; tons \; of \; flour \; per \; hour \; = \; \frac{27}{3} = 9 [/tex]
Number of tons of flour that the mill can process in 8 hours if the rate of production stays the same is given below:
[tex] 9 \; tons/hr \times \; 8 \; hr = 72 \; tons [/tex]
Conclusion:
Number of tons of flour that the mill can process in 8 hours if the rate of production stays the same is 72 tons
