Lathe shaft production

The performance of three lathes can be expressed by the ratio 3:5:8. The most powerful lathe produces 136 shafts per shift. How many shafts did each of the remaining lathes make per shift?

Final Answer:

a =  51
b =  85

Step-by-step explanation:

3<5<8 a<b<c c=136  a:b:c=3:5:8 = 3x:5x:8x  x=c/8=136/8=17 a=3 x=3 17=51
b=5 x=5 17=85
