If there were a total of 200 raffle tickets sold and you bought 8 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
| 4% | |
| 17% | |
| 11% | |
| 7% |
You have 8 out of the total of 200 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{8}{200} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{8 \times 100}{200} \) = \( \frac{800}{200} \) = 4% chance to win the raffle.
What is \( \frac{3}{2} \) + \( \frac{2}{10} \)?
| \( \frac{6}{10} \) | |
| \( \frac{7}{10} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{1}{10} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{7}{10}\) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] making 10 the smallest multiple 2 and 10 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{3 x 5}{2 x 5} \) + \( \frac{2 x 1}{10 x 1} \)
\( \frac{15}{10} \) + \( \frac{2}{10} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{15 + 2}{10} \) = \( \frac{17}{10} \) = 1\(\frac{7}{10}\)
What is \( \frac{2}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{6} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{24}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{15}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{21}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{9}\) |
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{2}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{6} \) = \( \frac{2 x 1}{8 x 6} \) = \( \frac{2}{48} \) = \(\frac{1}{24}\)
4! = ?
4 x 3 |
|
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
3 x 2 x 1 |
|
5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
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.
A machine in a factory has an error rate of 7 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 9 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 8 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
| 108.3 | |
| 128.8 | |
| 144.4 | |
| 133.9 |
The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:
\( \frac{7}{100} \) x 9 = \( \frac{7 \times 9}{100} \) = \( \frac{63}{100} \) = 0.63 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 9 - 0.63 = 8.37 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 8 = 16 hours yesterday so you would expect that 16 x 8.37 = 133.9 error free parts were produced yesterday.
