75% Answer Correctly
8
13
7
9

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{11 + 5 + 12 + 4}{4} \) = \( \frac{32}{4} \) = 8


3

Convert 7,457,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
0.746 x 107
7.457 x 106
74.57 x 105
7.457 x 10-5

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

7,457,000 in scientific notation is 7.457 x 106


4

5

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 4 hours for maintenance.

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

49% Answer Correctly
115.2
118.4
167.4
116.5

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 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 - 4 = 20 hours yesterday so you would expect that 20 x 8.37 = 167.4 error free parts were produced yesterday.
