Company S produces two kinds of stereos: basic and deluxe. Of the stereos produced by Company S last month, 2/3 were basic and the rest were deluxe. If it takes 1.6 as many hours to produce a deluxe stereo as it does to produce a basic stereo, then the number of hours it took to produce the deluxe stereos last month was what fraction of the total number of hours it took to produce all the stereos?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 7/17  B) 14/31  C) 7/15  D) 17/35  E) 1/2
The easiest way for me is to plug in numbers.   Let the number of basic stereos produced be 40, and number of delux stereos produced be 20. Total of 60 stereos.   If it takes an hour to produce a basic stereo then it will take 1.6 hours to produce a deluxe stereo.   40 basic stereos = 40 hours.   20 delux stereos = 32 hours.   Total hours = 72   Then the fraction would be 32/72 =4/9. Therefore answer   1/2
