Example Question #1 : Operations

Machine A can produce 4 buttons in 2 days.  Machine B can produce 20 buttons in 4 days.  How many buttons can Machine A and B, working together, produce in 40 days?

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 70

\dpi{100} 280

\dpi{100} 200

\dpi{100} 7

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 280

Explanation:

First determine how many buttons each machine can produce in a day.

Machine A: \dpi{100} \frac{4}{2}=2\ buttons\ per\ day

Machine B: \dpi{100} \frac{20}{4}=5\ buttons\ per\ day

Machine A and B can produce 7 buttons per day when they are working together.

\dpi{100} 7\times 40=280\ buttons
