A fectory requires 42 machines to produce a given number of articles in 63 days, How many machines would be required to produce the same number of articles in 54 days ? About the author Melanie
Answer: Here the number of machines and the number of days are in inverse proportion. \therefore\frac{63}{5}=\frac{x}{42}∴ 5 63 = 42 x \Rightarrow\ x=\frac{63\times42}{54}⇒ x= 54 63×42 \Rightarrow\ x=49⇒ x=49 49 machines would be required hope this helps!!! Reply

63×42
\Rightarrow\ x=49⇒ x=49
49 machines would be required
