Hammers and wrenches are manufactured at a uniform weight per hammer and a uniform weight per wrench. If the total weight of 1 hammers and three wrenches is one-third that of 8 hammers and 5 wrenches, then the total weight of one wrench is how many times that of one hammer?
Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 1/2  B) 2/3  C) 1  D) 5/4  E) 2
x be the weight of a hammer and y be the weight of a wrench.   (1x+3y)=1/3*(8x+5y)   3(1x+3y)=(8x+5y)   3x+9y=8x+5y   4y=5x   y=5x/4   Ans - 5/4
