  • Question
  • A machine puts c caps on bottles in m minutes. How many hours will it take to put caps on b bottles


  • Options
  • A. 60bm/c
  • B. bm/60c
  • C. bc/60m
  • D. 60b/cm

  • Correct Answer
  • bm/60c 

    Explanation

    Substitute sensible numbers and work out the problem. Then change the numbers back to letters. For example if the machine puts 6 caps on bottles in 2 minutes, it will put 6 /2 caps on per minute, or (6 /2) x 60 caps per hour. Putting letters back this is 60c/m.If you divide the required number of caps (b) by the caps per hour you will get time taken in hours. This gives bm/60c
