EXPLANATION
Production rate = 18 cars/ 8 hours
Applying the unitary method give us the appropiate relationship as shown as follows:
[tex]\text{Number of cars assembled}_{14\text{ hours}}=\frac{18\text{ cars }}{8\text{ hours}}\cdot14\text{ hours}[/tex][tex]\text{Number of cars assembled}_{14\text{ hours}}=\frac{252}{8}=31.5\text{ cars}[/tex]At this rate the factory could produce approximately 31 cars in 14 hours.
