@HelpOfTheGods so how many candies can machine B pack in 12 minutes?

anonymous · Answer

i dont know thats why i asked the question

anonymous · Answer

ok so it gives you an equation for machine B,  it says y = 150x,   x would be the number minutes,  y is the number of candies packed,  so can you plug in 12 for x into that equation and tell me what y would be?

usukidoll · Answer

that's a big number unless there is more than 1 part to this... ^
