A machine in a factory has an error rate of 9 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 2 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
| 200.2 | |
| 103.4 | |
| 165.6 | |
| 100.1 |
The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:
\( \frac{9}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{9 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{45}{100} \) = 0.45 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.45 = 4.55 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 2 = 22 hours yesterday so you would expect that 22 x 4.55 = 100.1 error free parts were produced yesterday.
A triathlon course includes a 200m swim, a 20.8km bike ride, and a 10.4km run. What is the total length of the race course?
| 58.4km | |
| 49.8km | |
| 51.7km | |
| 31.4km |
To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 200 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.2km then add the remaining distances:
total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.2km + 20.8km + 10.4km
total distance = 31.4km
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 30% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 30% | |
| 15% | |
| 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)% |
The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 30% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{30\text{%}}{2} \) = 15%
Simplify \( \frac{32}{48} \).
| \( \frac{1}{3} \) | |
| \( \frac{5}{9} \) | |
| \( \frac{2}{3} \) | |
| \( \frac{4}{17} \) |
To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 48 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48]. They share 5 factors [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] making 16 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{32}{48} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{16}}{\frac{48}{16}} \) = \( \frac{2}{3} \)
