The Eastminster Widget Company has an old machine that can produce 36 widgets in 9 hours, and a newer machine that can produce 40 widgets in 8
hours. Working together, how long would it take to produce 100 widgets?

22 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Old machine produces 36 widgets in 9 hours. The number of widgets produced in an hour can be determined as;

In 1 hour =

              = 4 widgets

New machine can produce 40 widgets in 8 hours. The umber of widgets produced in an hour can be determined as;

In 1 hour =

              = 5 widgets

Thus, let the time required by old machine be represented by s, and that of new machine by y. Working together we have;

4x + 5y = 100

(4 * 10) + (5 * 12) = 100

Thus the old machine would work for 10 hours, while the new machine would work for 12 hours to produce 100 widgets.

Working together, it would take both machines 22 hours.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
