Question

A certain car factory used to produce 12 cars in 15 hours. Due to a decrease in sales, the CEO has cut the factory hours down to 10. Which equation can the CEO use to find out how many cars, c, the factory is able to produce in a 10-hour day?(1 point) Responses 1512=10c 15 over 12 is equal to 10 over c c15=1210 c over 15 is equal to 12 tenths c12=1510 c over 12 is equal to 15 tenths 1215=10c

Answer 1

The correct equation is:

15/12 = 10/c

This equation represents the ratio of cars produced to hours worked, which should stay constant. By solving for c (the number of cars produced in 10 hours), the CEO can determine the new production rate.
