If 5 machines can make 1,000 bottles in 4 days, how many similar machines would be needed to make 1,500 bottles in just 1 day? Thank you.
5 machines can make =1,000 / 4 =250 bottles in 1 day
250/5 =50 bottles made by 1 machine in 1 day. Therefore,
1,500 / 50 = 30 machines to make 1,500 bottles in 1 day.
Again with the dimensional analysis:
1000 B / (5 M x 4 D) = 50 Bottles/(Machine-Day) 50 Bottles per Machine-Day
1500 B/ (1 D x 50 B/M-D) = 30 M 30 Machines required
