80 machines can produce 4800 identical pens in 5 hours.  how many pens produced in 1 hour by 1 machine?

80 m  * 5 hr  /4800 p  = .0833333 m-hr/p

1m-hr / .08333 m-hr/p  =12 pens

Hi there...

If "80" machines can produce "4800" identical pens in "5" hours.
But you wish to calculate how many pens 1 machine can produce in 1 hour.
That can be easily done with the following equation...

"((4800/80)/5)=x"

That gives you the answer 12 pens per machine, per hour.

I hope that helped a bit?

Kind regards
