A recycle machine crushes 175 pounds of cans in 5 minutes. How many pounds of cans will the machine crush in 16 minutes?
A) 560
B) 955
C) 1,925
D) 2,805

Sagot :

The answer will be A) 560 because when you divide 175 by 5 is with be 35 then multiply 35 by 16 that will give you 560. Your welcome :)
x = pounds of cans crushed

*use similar ratios

(175 lbs)/(5 min) = (x)/(16 min)

*find x by multiplying both sides by 16

x = (175 lbs)/(5 min)*(16 min) = 560 lbs

so . . . the answer is . . . A) 560
