    It would still take 5 minutes to make 100 donuts with 100 machines.
    - 5 machines can make 5 donuts (1 donut/machine * 5 machines) in 5 minutes.
    - Similarly, 100 machines can make 100 donuts (1 donut/machine * 100 machines) in the same 5 minutes.
    It's like having multiple faucets filling containers. If each faucet takes 5 minutes to fill a container, using more faucets won't magically fill them any faster.

    • @DJcyberslash
      @DJcyberslash Před dnem +2

      It depends if the 4 donuts collective output or individual output?
      5 faucets output 5 gallons collectively in 5 minutes: 5 / 5 = 1 output per machine in 5 minutes.
      5 faucets output 5 gallons individually in 5 minutes: 5 * 5 = 25 / 5 = 5 output per machine in 5 minutes.
      If 5 gallons individually then more faucets would (albeit non magically) fill containers faster.

    The answer is 5 minutes. The fact that it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 donuts means that it takes 5 minutes to make each donut. So that means that if 100 machines were making 1 donut each to have a total of 100 donuts, it would still take 5 minutes.

      It's parallel because machines run in parallel, you don't start a machine to make a donut in 1 minute, turn it off, start the next machine for 1 minute and turn it off. Then you only need 1 machine.
      For you to need 5 machines, they must run in parallel and produce a donut in t = 0 to 5min, like it would take 4.5 minutes to cook each donut.

    • @scottclowe
      @scottclowe Před 10 dny +102

      It doesn't matter because if you need a 5-machine contraption in series to make 5 donuts in 5 mins, you have 20 times as many of these 5 machine series when you have 100 machines. With 20x the machines, you have 20x the throughput because you can assume you have 20x the 5 machine-unit in parallel. Otherwise the question is unanswerable as it would mean the 100 machines are different to the 5 machines and hence incomparable.

    1. Production rate: 5 doughnuts pr 5 minutes-> 5/5= 1 d/m (doughnut pr minute. New measure scale)
    2. Since 5 machines produce 1 d/m -> 1 machine will 1/5
    3. Therefore: (doughnuts/5 minutes)*100 doughnuts=100 minutes.
    There is a growth rate r=0.2.

    Answer: 5 minutes. 20x5=100 donuts.
    - 5 machines make 5 donuts in 5 minutes
    -There are 20 groups of 5 machines for a total of 100 machines.
    -Each group of 5 machines will take 5 minutes to make 5 donuts.
    -20 groups of machines making 5 donuts per group in 5 minutes equals 100 donuts in 5 minutes.

      É realmente uma pegadinha porque falta precisar a informação. Todas as pessoas são burras? Isso é um truque de convenção. Quem está habituado à convenção acerta. A pergunta é imprecisa justamente para causar ambiguidades. Se essa pergunta fosse um código, estaria completamente mal feita. Se fosse uma pergunta ensinar matemática também seria um erro grotesco.
      Alternativas mais efetivas para comunicação e aprendizado assertivo:
      Se temos uma máquina que produz um donut a cada 5 minutos, quantas iremos precisar para fazer 100?
      Em uma fábrica, percebeu-se que as 5 máquinas disponíveis e funcionais, produzem em 5 minutos 5 donuts ao todo. Para um grande evento foram alugadas 100 máquinas - todas estão funcionando, com a mesma capacidade e taxa de produção percebida na fábrica, sendo que não é possível as máquinas trabalharem juntas para diminuir o tempo de um donut- Sendo assim, em quanto tempo teríamos 100 donuts pronto para consumo?
      E ainda assim, a resposta do sr está equivocada. Talvez ele já conhecesse a charada. Foi capaz de emitir a resposta esperada pelo provocador, mas sua explicação é equivocada. Ele deriva que para 200 donuts seria o mesmo tempo. Só seria o mesmo tempo se tiver uma máquina para cada donut. A única parte da charada que ele efetivamente entendeu, é que o tempo minimo de produção de um donut é 5 minutos e as máquinas não trabalham juntas.
      Espero que professores de matemática realmente estudem e pesquisem essas confusões, charadas e pegadinhas. Porque muitas delas que tornam muitos alunos inseguros. Apenas por não terem todas as informações, não poderem checar as informações dadas por comunicação assertiva, ou por não estarem no clube da convenção. Desnecessário.

    We have four machines that take 30 seconds to do the rest of the tasks needed to complete our 5 donuts.4 machines produce 5 donuts in 0.5 minutes so this translates into 2.5 donuts per machine per minute.
    Total:
    So, with our 1 slow phase machine and our 4 parallel phase machines the process takes a total of 5 minutes to produce 5 donuts. However, when we add machines, we cannot add slow phase machines in our hypothetical case. We can add as many parallel phase machines as we like. In this example we add 95 additional parallel machines for a total of 100 machines including our slow phase machine. Since all 100 donuts must go through the slow phase machine it will take 100 * .9 minutes to go through our slow phase. With our total of 99 parallel machines × 2 donuts per minute = 198 donuts per minute to go through the parallel phase. This equates to 90 minutes from the slow phase + .505 for the parallel phase for a grand total of 1 hour 30 minutes and .505 seconds to produce 100 donuts with 100 machines in our example.
    These numbers are arbitrary but hopefully shows that there are exceptions which means that we cannot know for certain if adding more machines speeds up the process in a linear way and I feel as if the people asked in this clip intuitively are searching for an exception and this comment hopefully can show that their intuition might be correct in some way!?
    Have a nice day!

  • @NO_PJM

    This is a trick question. There are several comments that are on point and that is saying that the question is stated incorrectly because there is no confirmation of what stays consistent and what is changing.
    For example, the amount of machines or the amount of donuts each machine makes, which will affect the progression of time in regards to how many donuts are made. And if you don't believe me, rephrase the question yourselves where you input verbs and adjectives in different places which changes the question entirely and thus the answer entirely. If you're going to solve for more than one variable in an equation you have to note down what would be consistent. So while he asks about the progression of time he fails to make clear the relationship between time, the machines and the amount of donuts.

    5 machines takes 5 min -> 5 🍩. Then the answer is 5 minutes.
    Assumptions made:
    1. He doesn't implicitly mean that "each" of the 5 machines take 5 min to make 5 🍩.
    2. Adding or removing a machine from the group of 5 does not influence the rate of 🍩 made (X groups of 5 machines put together will make X times as many doughnuts as a single group of 5 machines).
    Then each of 20 groups of 5 machines (100 machines total) can run and finish in 5 minutes if they run at the same time, each group making 5 🍩 (100 🍩 total).
    The way the guy asked the question allows for a little ambiguity, so some basic assumptions need to be made in order to provide a definite answer... but yeah, 5 minutes

      But what if the assumptions we make are:
      - 5 machines take 5 minutes to make 5 donuts, we assume that 1 machine takes 5 minutes to make 1 donut. So the rate is 5 donuts/5mins given a constant number of machines
      - assume we only have a limited number of machines, like in a real scenario
      - therefore 100 donuts with 5 machines we still take 100 minutes?
      We don't have an infinite number of machines irl?

    • @janedrowned
      @janedrowned Před 14 dny +22

      What my solution looked liked after I failed initially and then put some thought into it:
      1. 5 machines make 5 donuts in 5 minutes. Assuming it takes all 5 machines to make one whole donut (each prints out a part of it), they will make 1 donut in 1 minute.
      2. In 100 machines, there is 20 sets of 5 machines. This many will make 20 donuts in 1 minute.
      3. By dividing 100 donuts by 20, we get 5, thus finding that it would take 100 machines 5 minutes to make 100 donuts.
      The question was really vaguely put. Does one machine take full five minutes to make a donut, or do all five machines make one detail of a donut? No wonder people are confused: with important information left out, it's hard to conceptualize the question.

    First a question must be asked: Does each machine make one donut in five minutes. (or say one machine makes 5 donuts in 5 minutes, and the other 4 are idle?) OR( sequencially does the first machine prepare the ingredients(like measuring), and the second machine combines the ingredients, and the third machine forms the donuts into rings, the 4th machine places the 5 donuts onto the baking tray, and the 5th machine takes a picture) Should probably ask: are the machines identical? Were each of the 5 machines fully utilized to make the 5 donuts? NOTE: A hundred machines would make two thousand donuts in 100 minutes!!!

    It takes them 2 weeks including one full weekend. The planner only requested 20 donuts worth of flour, the facility didn't factor for the increased power draw and most of the machines can't run... Additionally the drivers are on strike.
    The first 3 batches of donuts all fail quality checks because the ramp up wasnt properly considered.
    The workforce who run the machines are burnt out from having to adapt to the increased work with a rapidly diminishing skill level for all the new employees.
    Lastly at the same time as producing more donuts the boss has decided that the output is now actually 20 cupcakes, 20 Victoria sponges, 60 pizzas and 10 high end hand bags.

    It’s a trick questions because it can be attempted in two ways
    One method is to think that 5 machines make 5 donuts in 5 minutes means that each individual machine is making 5 donuts in 5 minutes, equivalent of 1 donut per minute. That means a hundred machines would make 100 donuts in 1 minute as each machine makes 1 each in that minute.
    Another way to think about it is that the 5 machines collectively make 5 donuts in 5 minutes, which would mean that each machine makes 1 donut each in those 5 minutes. A 100 machines would take 5 minutes to make a 100 donuts in this case as each of the machine makes 1 donut in the 5 min duration.

    This reminds me of a magazine I used to read when I was in grade school. It always featured trick questions like that. I still remember some of them. It was a great way to teach children critical thinking. We need to bring that back.

      I wouldn't call it a trick question, but I agree completely that questions like this are a great tool in helping teach critical thinking.

      @@arnav_1290r Except not today. We no longer rely on mathematic notation as thought, but rather on calculators and other machines to help ease the burden. The result is that people can't think laterally, and have issues with these type of questions. The benefit is that we ease time between calculation, resulting in more efficient outputs.
