Kudos for the right answer and explanation
A certain machine produces
1,000 units in
1 hour
So, the machine produces
24,000 units in
24 hours
In other words, the machine produces
24,000 units in
1 DAY
So, the machine produces
(24,000)(7) units in
7 DAYS
(20,000)(7) = 140,000
So,
(24,000)(7) = some number greater than 140,000
Answer: E
