If it takes a machine 1/3 of a minute to produce one item, how many items will it produce in 10 minutes?

Answer: 30
Explanation

To determine how many items the machine will produce in 10 minutes:

  1. It takes 1/3 minute to produce one item.
  2. In 1 minute, the machine produces 3 items (since 1 ÷ 1/3 = 3).
  3. In 10 minutes, the machine will produce 3 × 10 = 30 items.

So, the machine will produce 30 items in 10 minutes.
