Machine A:
x(minutes)   y(candies)
  5                     600
10                  1200
15                  1800
20                   2400

Machine B: y = 150x

Machine A: 600 / 5 = 120 candies per minute
120 cpm x 12 minutes = 1440
 
 Machine B: y = 150x
 150 cpm x 12 minutes = 1800

1800 - 1440 = 360 candies more for Machine B.  

Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

Machine A:

x(minutes)   y(candies)

5                     600

10                    1200

15                    1800

20                   2400

In 5 minutes, Machine A produces candies = 600

So, it produces candies in 1 minute = \(\frac{600}{5}=120\)

So, machine A produces candies in 12 minutes :

=  \(120\times12\)

=   \(1440\)

Machine B :  y = 150x

Equation of line : \(y=mx+c\)

where m denotes the rate of change.

So, comparing the given equation of Machine B .

Slope m = 150

So, rate of machine B = 150 candies per minute .

Since Machine b produces candies in 1 minute = 150

So, it produces candies in 12 minute = 150 *12 =1800

Thus Machine B produces 1800 and Machine A produces 1440 in 12 minutes .

So, no. of candies more Machine B produces than Machine A:

= 1800-1440      

=360

Hence Machine B produces 360 more candies than Machine B in 12 minutes .
