A machine in a factory has an error rate of 4 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 7 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 9 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
| 98.7 | |
| 102.6 | |
| 100.8 | |
| 102.9 |
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 7 = \( \frac{4 \times 7}{100} \) = \( \frac{28}{100} \) = 0.28 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 7 - 0.28 = 6.72 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 9 = 15 hours yesterday so you would expect that 15 x 6.72 = 100.8 error free parts were produced yesterday.
a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

commutative property for division |
The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
What is the least common multiple of 5 and 7?
| 29 | |
| 35 | |
| 27 | |
| 34 |
The first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [35, 70] making 35 the smallest multiple 5 and 7 have in common.
Monty loaned April $700 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
| $763 | |
| $714 | |
| $707 | |
| $721 |
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $700
i = 0.03 x $700
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $700 + $21Simplify \( \sqrt{125} \)

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:
\( \sqrt{125} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \)
