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

75/60 is 1.25 and 1.25 times 6 is 7.5 but you can't produce a half widget so it is just 7

we know that
A machine produces 75 widgets an hour
How many widgets does it produce in 6 minutes?
one hour is equal to ------> 60 min u t es
by proportion
60 75 ​ = 6 x ​ 60 ∗ x = 75 ∗ 6 x = 60 75 ∗ 6 ​
x = 7.5 w i d g e t s
therefore
the answer is
A machine produces 7 w i d g e t s in 6 minutes

The machine produces 7.5 widgets in 6 minutes, which can generally be interpreted as 7 whole widgets produced in that time frame. This is calculated by determining the widget production rate per minute. The calculation shows that the machine produces 1.25 widgets every minute.
