Marie can assemble two electronic circuits in 16 minutes. In 120 minutes she can assemble
In 120 minutes, Marie can assemble 15 circuits.
Marie assembles two circuits in 16 minutes, which allows us to determine her assembly rate. In 120 minutes, she can assemble a total of 15 circuits based on her consistent work rate.
To calculate the number of circuits assembled in 120 minutes, we first determine that Marie assembles 2 circuits in 16 minutes, or 1 circuit in 8 minutes. In 120 minutes, she would assemble 120/8 = 15 circuits. Therefore, 6 circuits is an incorrect and significantly underestimated total.
This option correctly reflects Marie's assembly rate. Since she assembles 2 circuits in 16 minutes, we calculate her rate as 1 circuit per 8 minutes. Thus, in 120 minutes, she can assemble 120/8 = 15 circuits, making this the accurate answer.
This choice suggests that Marie could assemble 18 circuits in 120 minutes. However, with her rate of 1 circuit every 8 minutes, she would only be able to assemble 15 circuits in that time frame. Therefore, this option exceeds her actual output.
This option implies a much higher output than is possible given Marie's rate. If she could assemble 40 circuits, she would require 40 x 8 = 320 minutes, which exceeds the 120 minutes available, rendering this choice impossible.
Marie’s assembly rate is pivotal in determining the total circuits she can produce in a given time. By analyzing her work rate, we find that she can assemble 15 circuits in 120 minutes, making option B the correct choice. The other options miscalculate her capacity based on her established rate, illustrating the importance of accurate time management in task completion.
