If the production line where you work can assemble 5 amplifiers every 30 minutes, then 1 amplifier can be assembled in [tex] \frac{30}{5} =6[/tex] minutes.

To assemble 230 amplifiers you need [tex]230\cdot 6=1380[/tex] minutes that is 23 hours.

Then the correct choice is D, because [tex] \frac{230}{5} \cdot 0.5=23[/tex].
