3

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 4 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 8 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
88.4
134.4
126.7
153.6

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:

\( \frac{4}{100} \) x 8 = \( \frac{4 \times 8}{100} \) = \( \frac{32}{100} \) = 0.32 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 8 - 0.32 = 7.68 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 4 = 20 hours yesterday so you would expect that 20 x 7.68 = 153.6 error free parts were produced yesterday.

The total water usage for a city is 50,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 12% is for personal use and 26% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
7,000
4,500
4,000
14,499

Solution

26% of the water consumption is industrial use and 12% is personal use so (26% - 12%) = 14% more water is used for industrial purposes. 50,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{14}{100} \) x 50,000 gallons = 7,000 gallons.


5

Find the average of the following numbers: 15, 7, 12, 10.

74% Answer Correctly
11
10
15
9

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{15 + 7 + 12 + 10}{4} \) = \( \frac{44}{4} \) = 11
