A machine in a factory has an error rate of 9 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 8 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 9 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
111.6
109.2
74.4
143.8

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 8 = \( \frac{9 \times 8}{100} \) = \( \frac{72}{100} \) = 0.72 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 8 - 0.72 = 7.28 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 9 = 15 hours yesterday so you would expect that 15 x 7.28 = 109.2 error free parts were produced yesterday.


2

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 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.


3

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

PEDMAS

commutative

associative

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


4

Simplify \( \sqrt{80} \)

62% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{5} \)
3\( \sqrt{5} \)
3\( \sqrt{10} \)
4\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 5} \)
4\( \sqrt{5} \)


5

Simplify \( \frac{36}{52} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{4}{9} \)
\( \frac{9}{13} \)
\( \frac{9}{20} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 36 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36] and the factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{36}{52} \) = \( \frac{\frac{36}{4}}{\frac{52}{4}} \) = \( \frac{9}{13} \)
