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?

49% Answer Correctly
150.4
109.2
144.1
158.1

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:

\( \frac{9}{100} \) 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?

49% Answer Correctly
7,426
8,154
9,755
12,376

Solution

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! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

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?

87% Answer Correctly
105 miles
240 miles
450 miles
75 miles

Solution

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


5

What is \( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{4}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{16}{63}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{8}{63}\)
2\(\frac{2}{7}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{4}{9} \) = \( \frac{4 x 4}{7 x 9} \) = \( \frac{16}{63} \) = \(\frac{16}{63}\)
