A machine in a factory has an error rate of 9 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 6 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 4 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
| 150.4 | |
| 109.2 | |
| 144.1 | |
| 158.1 |
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 6 = \( \frac{9 \times 6}{100} \) = \( \frac{54}{100} \) = 0.54 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 6 - 0.54 = 5.46 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 4 = 20 hours yesterday so you would expect that 20 x 5.46 = 109.2 error free parts were produced yesterday.
If a mayor is elected with 56% of the votes cast and 52% of a town's 28,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?
| 7,426 | |
| 8,154 | |
| 9,755 | |
| 12,376 |
If 52% of the town's 28,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:
(\( \frac{52}{100} \)) x 28,000 = \( \frac{1,456,000}{100} \) = 14,560
The mayor got 56% of the votes cast which is:
(\( \frac{56}{100} \)) x 14,560 = \( \frac{815,360}{100} \) = 8,154 votes.
4! = ?
3 x 2 x 1 |
|
5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
4 x 3 |
|
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 3 hours at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?
| 105 miles | |
| 240 miles | |
| 450 miles | |
| 75 miles |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 35mph \times 3h \)
105 miles
What is \( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{4}{9} \)?
| \(\frac{16}{63}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{8}{63}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{2}{7}\) |
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{4}{9} \) = \( \frac{4 x 4}{7 x 9} \) = \( \frac{16}{63} \) = \(\frac{16}{63}\)
