A worker on an assembly line takes 5 hours to produce 23 parts. At that rate how many parts can she produce in 25 hours?

Question

1. 575 parts
2. 230 parts
3. 115 parts
4. 53 parts

Answer 1

To find the answer, we can set up a proportion:

5 hours / 23 parts = 25 hours / x parts

Cross multiplying, we have:

5x = 23 * 25
5x = 575

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

x = 115

Therefore, the worker can produce 115 parts in 25 hours.

The correct answer is option 3. 115 parts.
