A machine in a factory has an error rate of 8 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?
| 77.6 | |
| 110.4 | |
| 103.7 | |
| 190 |
The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:
\( \frac{8}{100} \) x 6 = \( \frac{8 \times 6}{100} \) = \( \frac{48}{100} \) = 0.48 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 6 - 0.48 = 5.52 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 4 = 20 hours yesterday so you would expect that 20 x 5.52 = 110.4 error free parts were produced yesterday.
What is \( \frac{14\sqrt{25}}{7\sqrt{5}} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 5 \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \) | |
| 2 \( \sqrt{5} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{14\sqrt{25}}{7\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{14}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{5}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)
What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{2}{5} \)?
| \(\frac{2}{15}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{20}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{27}\) |
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{2}{5} \) = \( \frac{3 x 2}{8 x 5} \) = \( \frac{6}{40} \) = \(\frac{3}{20}\)
If a car travels 150 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?
| 75 mph | |
| 40 mph | |
| 50 mph | |
| 25 mph |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)If \( \left|b + 8\right| \) + 6 = -7, which of these is a possible value for b?
| 0 | |
| 12 | |
| 18 | |
| -21 |
First, solve for \( \left|b + 8\right| \):
\( \left|b + 8\right| \) + 6 = -7
\( \left|b + 8\right| \) = -7 - 6
\( \left|b + 8\right| \) = -13
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (b + 8) must equal - 13 or --13 for \( \left|b + 8\right| \) to equal -13:
| b + 8 = -13 b = -13 - 8 b = -21 | b + 8 = 13 b = 13 - 8 b = 5 |
So, b = 5 or b = -21.
