running at the same rate , 8 identical machines can produce 560 paperclips a minute . at this rate , how many paperclips could 12 machines produce in 6 minutes ?
"8 machines produce 560 in 1 min 8 machines produce 560 * 6 in 6 min 12 machine produce 560 * 6 * ( 12 / 8 ) in 6 minutes 560 * 6 * 12 / 8 = 5040 answer is d ."
multiply(multiply(560, divide(12, 8)), 6)
