Question 1 of 4
1. Question
A factory produces `250` cans within a minute. How long will it take to make `2000` cans?- (8) `\text(minutes)`
Hint
Help VideoCorrect
Correct!
Incorrect
A rate is a ratio of two different units.Quad boxes are used to easily find rates
(Use cross product method)First, fill up the quad boxes with the three known values and have the unknown value be `x`.Cans Min `250` `1` `2000` `x` Next, equate the two columns and solve for `x`.`(250)/(2000)` `=` `1/x` `250(x)` `=` `1(2000)` Cross multiply `250x``divide250` `=` `2000``divide250` Divide both sides by `250` `x` `=` `8` Since `x` is under the `\text(min)` column in the quad boxes, the value will be `8 \text(minutes)`.`8 \text(minutes)` -

(Use cross product method)First, convert the hours into minutes`1 \text(hour)` `=` `60 \text(minutes)` `8xx(60)/1` `=` `480` Next, fill up the quad boxes with the three known values and have the unknown value be `x`.Cans Min `250` `1` `x` `480` Finally, equate the two columns and solve for `x`.`(250)/x` `=` `1/(480)` `1(x)` `=` `250(480)` Cross multiply `x` `=` `120 000` Since `x` is under the `\text(cans)` column in the quad boxes, the value will be `120 000 \text(cans)`.`120 000 \text(cans)` -

Speed-Distance-Time Formula
$$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}=\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}}{\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}}$$First, derive the formula to solve for the distance.$$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}$$ `=` $$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}}{\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}}$$ $$\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}$$ `=` $$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}\cdot\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}$$ Cross multiply Next, substitute the known values to the derived formula.`\text(Speed)` `=` `(70 \text(km))/(\text(hour))` `\text(Time)` `=` `9 \text(hours)` $$\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}$$ `=` $$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}\cdot\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}$$ `=` $$\color{#00880a}{\frac{70\;\text{km}}{\text{hour}}}\cdot\color{#e65021}{9\text{hours}}$$ Substitute known values `=` `630 \text(km)` Hours cancel out `\text(Distance)=630 \text(km)`
