Machine A, working alone at its constant rate, produces x pounds of peanut butter in 12 minutes. Machine B, working alone at its constant rate, produces x pounds of peanut butter in 18 minutes. How many minutes will it take machines A and B, working simultaneously at their respective constant rates, to produce x pounds of peanut butter?
______minutes
选项
答案
7.2
解析
Translating the given information into an algebraic expression, you see that machine A produces x/12 pounds of peanut butter in 1 minute, and machine B produces x/18 pounds of peanut butter in 1 minute. Therefore, working simultaneously, machine A and machine B produce
pounds of peanut butter in 1 minute.
Letting t be the number of minutes it takes machines A and B, working simultaneously, to produce x pounds of peanut butter, you can set up the following equation.
Solving for t, you get
The correct answer is 7.2.
This explanation uses the following strategies.
Strategy 1: Translate from Words to an Arithmetic or Algebraic Representation
Strategy 8: Search for a Mathematical Relationship
