How to write the equations to show ribbon the machine can make in a given time

In one hour, a machine can produce 5 miles of ribbon.

1 hour = 5 miles

The answer to how much ribbon, r, is produced after x hours is

1 hour = 5 miles

x hours = r miles

multiplying

r = 5x

In 8 hours

R = 5x = 5*8 = 40 miles.

The machine produces 40 miles of ribbon in 8 hours.

Another machine can produce 8 miles of ribbon.

1 hour = 8 miles

The answer to how much ribbon, r, is produced after x hours is

1 hour = 8 miles

x hours = r miles

multiplying

r = 8x

In 8 hours

R = 8x = 8 * 8 = 64 miles.

The machine produces 64 miles of ribbon in 8 hours.
