If it takes (8/5)th as many hours to produce a smartphone as it does to produce a feature phone, then the number of hours it took to produce the smartphones last year was what fraction of the total number of hours it took to produce all the phones?
(A) 8/31
(B) 11/31
(C) 12/17
(D) 13/34
(E) 15/34
Hidden Plug In!! Let's just make up a few facts.
If 2/5 were Feature and the rest were Smart, let's just say they made 2 Feature and 3 Smart.
If Smart takes 8/5 as long to produce as Feature, let's just say it takes 8 hours to produce a Smart and 5 hours to produce a Feature.
So it took 3*8 = 24 hours to produce the 3 Smarts and it took 2*5 = 10 hours to produce the Features.
Smart/Total = 24/34, which reduces to 12/17.
Answer choice C.
