Q7 of 26 Page 100

It takes 27 days to make 1000 spare parts by 16 numbers of machines. Let’s work out using the Rule of Three method how many days will it take to make the same number of spare parts if additional two machines are installed.

theorem1:- The Rule of Three is a Mathematical Rule that allows you to solve problems based on proportions. By having three numbers: a, b, c,


(a)Direct proportions rule of 3:-


if ab


c then


(b)inverse proportions rule of 3:-


if ab


c then


formula:- (i)direct method----


(ii)indirect or inverse proportions xy=k


given:-



method used is called indirect or inverse proportions method


work done=no of day x no of spare x no of machine


work done=27x1000x16=432000


work done =432000=no of day x1000x 18
