A machine produces 75 widgets an hour. How many widgets does it produce in 6 minuets?

The machine would be producing 7.5 widgets in 6 minutes.

You could find this by doing 75 divided by 60 which would be 1.25 widgets per minute. Then you would do 1.25 multiplied by 6 since you need to figure out how many Widgets are produced in 6 minutes and 1.25 widgets are produced every minute, thus giving you 7.5 widgets every 6 minutes.

An easier way to solve this is by doing 75 divided by 10 since 6 is one-tenth of an hour (60 minutes).

The correct answer is 7.5 widgets
