A machine in a factory has an error rate of 3 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 10 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 7 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
164.9
203.7
191.1
167.2

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{3}{100} \) x 10 = \( \frac{3 \times 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{30}{100} \) = 0.3 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 10 - 0.3 = 9.7 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 7 = 17 hours yesterday so you would expect that 17 x 9.7 = 164.9 error free parts were produced yesterday.

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 75 pounds of food in 5 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 135 pounds?

7
9
5

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 75 pounds of food in 5 days that's \( \frac{75}{5} \) = 15 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 135 - 75 = 60 more pounds of food to reach 135 pounds total. At 15 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{60}{15} \) = 4 more days.

What is \( \frac{-2z^7}{3z^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z\(\frac{4}{7}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)z-3
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z3
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z11

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{-2z^7}{3z^4} \)
\( \frac{-2}{3} \) z(7 - 4)
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z3

What is (c2)5?

80% Answer Correctly
c10
2c5
c3
5c2

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(c2)5
c(2 * 5)
c10
