If a machine makes 12 candies every 17 minutes, how many does it make in 8 hours?
- A.
412
- B.
252
- C.
634
- D.
338
Correct Answer
D. 338Explanation
To find the number of candies the machine makes in 8 hours, we need to convert the time to minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 8 hours is equal to 8 * 60 = 480 minutes. Next, we can use a proportion to find the number of candies. If the machine makes 12 candies in 17 minutes, then in 480 minutes it would make (12/17) * 480 = 338 candies. Therefore, the correct answer is 338.Rate this question:
