In Ryan Corporation, the first shift produced 5 1/2 times as many lightbulbs as the second shift. If the total lightbulbs produced was 16250 how many lightbulbs were produced on shift 1

Respuesta :

Answer:

13750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the number of bulbs produced in second shift

Number of bulbs produced in 1st shift= 5.5x

Total number of bulbs= 5.5x+x

16250=5.5x+x

x=2500

Number of bulbs produced in shift 1= 5.5×2500

                                                            = 13750
