Answer:
It will take 88 minutes to add 16 seats.
It will take 104.5 minutes to add 19 seats.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m represent number of minutes.
We have been given that an assembly line worker at Rob's Bicycle factory adds a seat to a bicycle to a rate of 2 seats in 11 minutes.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem.
\(\frac{\text{Number of minutes}}{\text{Number of seats}}=\frac{11}{2}\)
\(\frac{m}{\text{Number of seats}}=\frac{11}{2}\)
To find the time taken to add 16 seats, we will \(\text{Number of seats}=16\) in our proportion as:
\(\frac{m}{16}=\frac{11}{2}\)
\(\frac{m}{16}*16=\frac{11}{2}*16\)
\(m=11*8\)
\(m=88\)
Therefore, it will take 88 minutes to add 16 seats.
To find the time taken to add 19 seats, we will \(\text{Number of seats}=19\) in our proportion as:
\(\frac{m}{19}=\frac{11}{2}\)
\(\frac{m}{19}*19=\frac{11}{2}*19\)
\(m=11*9.5\)
\(m=104.5\)
Therefore, it will take 104.5 minutes to add 19 seats.
