Big and small widgets 2009-08-17
From Leanne:
A machine makes big widgets. Another machine makes small widgets. 3 small widgets have the same mass as 2 big widgets. It takes the same amount of time to make 3 big widgets as it does to make 5 small widgets. The machines start at the same time and make widgets until the total mass of all the widgets made is equal to the mass of 380 small widgets. What is the total number of widgets made? (Please include workings).
