Prompt
If it takes 50 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

How to grade it

50 minutes. Each machine makes 5 / (50 × 5) = 0.02 widgets per minute, so 100 machines make 2 per minute and need 50 minutes for 100 widgets.

Answer check: Rate arithmetic with exact fractions.
