A machine in a factory has an error rate of 5 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 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
83.7
71.3
169.2
138

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:

\( \frac{5}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{5 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{25}{100} \) = 0.25 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.25 = 4.75 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 9 = 15 hours yesterday so you would expect that 15 x 4.75 = 71.3 error free parts were produced yesterday.

What is \( \frac{2}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{9} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{9}\)
\(\frac{1}{18}\)
\(\frac{9}{10}\)
\(\frac{2}{35}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{2}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{9} \) = \( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{9}{4} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{9}{4} \) = \( \frac{2 x 9}{5 x 4} \) = \( \frac{18}{20} \) = \(\frac{9}{10}\)


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 64?

68% Answer Correctly
1
48
45
51

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.


4

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.


5

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
