A Florida factory produces fishing reels at a rate of 800 per day, every day. In April, they

are forced to cut their production by 1/5

due to an aluminum shortage.

A chain of sporting goods stores orders 20,000 fishing reels. Will the factory be able to

produce enough fishing reels in the 30 days of April to meet this order? Explain how you

know

    Multiply 800 to 4/5 to see how much they make per day.

    800 * 4/5 = 640

    So they make 640 fishing reels per day.

    Multiply this to 30:

    640 * 30 = 19,200

    So they will make 19,200 fishing reels in 30 days.

    This is not enough for the order.

    The factory normally produces 800 reels a day.

    They have to cut their production by 1/5, however.

    800 * 4/5 = 640 reels a day.

    30 days would mean 640 * 30 reels ... 19200 reels.

    This is less than 20,000, so the factory will NOT be able to produce enough reels.
