A furniture factory makes 5 recliners for every 2 couches. If the factory makes a total of 154 recliners & couches in a day, how many recliners were made?

Question

It's about math word problems.

Answer 1

Hi Leeyhia, if we let x represent a unit of work, then we can create an equation:

 

5x + 2x = 154

 

Which represents making 2 couches for every 5 recliners.

 

Solve for x and then multiply by 5 to find the number of reclines made or multiply by 2 to find the number of couches made.
