A machine in a factory has an error rate of 7 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 8 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 4 hours for maintenance.

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

49% Answer Correctly
117.6
148.8
73.5
139.5

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:

\( \frac{7}{100} \) x 8 = \( \frac{7 \times 8}{100} \) = \( \frac{56}{100} \) = 0.56 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 8 - 0.56 = 7.4399999999999995 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 4 = 20 hours yesterday so you would expect that 20 x 7.4399999999999995 = 148.8 error free parts were produced yesterday.

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 72 pounds of food in 6 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 108 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
3
2
8
1

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 72 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{72}{6} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 108 - 72 = 36 more pounds of food to reach 108 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{36}{12} \) = 3 more days.

If a car travels 75 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
60 mph
25 mph
45 mph
30 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{75mi}{3h} \)
25 mph
