Explanation
First, calculate the size of a production lot. Machine A works at a rate of 15 golf clubs per hour and completes a production lot in 6 hrs. Plug this information into the W = RT
formula:

w = 15 clubs per hour × 6 hours = 90 clubs
Therefore, a production lot consists of 90 golf clubs. Since machine B can complete the lot in 1.5 hours, use the W = RT chart a second time to calculate the rate for machine B:

Make the calculation easier by converting 1.5 hours to \(\frac{3}{2}\) hours:
\(90= \frac{3}{2}r\) or r=60.
