At a certain factory, the number of first-shift workers is 2/3 the number of second-shift workers. Every day, each second-shift worker can make 4/3 as many light bulbs as each first-shift worker.
In the first column, identify a possible number of total light bulbs made on one day by the two shifts combined; in the second column, identify the corresponding number of total light bulbs that the first-shift workers made on the same day. Make only two selections, one in each column.

First Shift Workers = FW
Second Shift Workers = SW
Let the number of SW = x, so the number of FW= \(\frac{2}{3}\)x
Let the number of bulbs produced by FW = n, so the number of bulbs produced by SW = \(\frac{4}{3}\)n
Total bulbs produced by FW = \(\frac{2}{3}\)xn
Total bulbs produced by SW = \(\frac{4}{3}\)xn
Total bulbs produced by FW & SW = \(\frac{2}{3}\)xn + \(\frac{4}{3}\)xn = 2xn
So,
\(\frac{Bulbs produced by FW}{Bulbs produced by FW+SW}\) =\(\frac{2}{3}xn/2xn \)= \(\frac{1}{3}\)
In the first column, identify a possible number of total light bulbs made on one day by the two shifts combined; in the second column, identify the corresponding number of total light bulbs that the first-shift workers made on the same day. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Particulars First Second
Workers 2 3
Rate 3 4
Total 6 12
we have 36 which is double the total so multiply the first shift by 2 (6*2=12)
