At a certain factory, each employee working the second shift produced 2/3 as many widgets as each employee working the first shift. If the first shift has 3/4 as many employees, what fraction of the total widgets did the second shift produce?

• Say there were 3 workers on the first shift who each produced 3 widgets, or 9 in total.
  
  And, there are 4 workers on the second shift who each produced 2 widgets or 8.
  
  The second shift produced 8 of 17,

• 1st shift 2/3= 2*3=6 widgets
  2nd shift 3/4= 3*4=12 widgets
  total=18
  ratio= 12/18
  =2/3 is the ans.

• ans is 3/5.
  according to question- B produces widgets= 2/3A.... so b=(2/3)a
  so now we are asked fraction of B in total
  so it is b/(a+b),,, so substitute value of b
  in ths
  we get 3/5..
