Which of these numbers is a factor of 72?
The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 50mph \times 1h \)
50 miles
Which of the following is not a common vehicle cylinder arrangement?
vertical
Cylinder number and arrangement depends on the purpose of the engine. Smaller (four and six cylinder) engines in front-wheel drive vehicles often use an inline design which orients cylinders vertically over the crankshaft and aligns them in a row. Other common orientations are a horizontal/opposed design which places cylinders flat facing each other with the crankshaft between them and a V-type design common in six and eight cylinder engines that features one cylinder head per block of cylinders oriented at a 60 to 90 degree angle to each other with the crankshaft at the bottom of the V.
A machine in a factory has an error rate of 6 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 6 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:
\( \frac{6}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{6 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{30}{100} \) = 0.3 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.3 = 4.7 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 6 = 18 hours yesterday so you would expect that 18 x 4.7 = 84.6 error free parts were produced yesterday.
In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?
all of these
Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.
If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 24 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
You have 24 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{24}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{24 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{2400}{350} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.
