A tile company produces 7,500 tiles in 6 days. How many tiles does the company produce in 25 days?

a. 1,800 b. 6,250 c. 31,250 d. 187,500

C. 31,250

6/7,500=25/x

187,500=6x

x=31,250

There r 2 ways u can do this ...

(1) find the unit rate ...

7500/6 = 1250 per day

for 25 days ... 1250 * 25 = 31250 tiles <==

or

(2) proportion ...

7500/6 = x / 25 ... 7500 tiles to 6 days = x tiles to 25 days

cross multiply

(6) (x) = (7500) (25)

6x = 187500

x = 187500/6

x = 31250 <==

either way, u should get the same answer
