Question

In a manufacturing process, for every 465 items assembled, 4 are defective. at this rate, if 5,115 items are assembled, how many will be defective?

Answer 1

The expected number that will be defective is:
$5115\times\frac{4}{465}=44\ items$

Answer 2

Answer:

44 items would be defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a manufacturing process, for every 465 items assembled, 4 are defective.

The ratio of defective items = $\frac{4}{465}$

When 5,115 items are assembled, defective items would be =  $\frac{4}{465}$ × 5,115

                                                                                  = 44 defective items

At this rate, if 5,115 items are assembled, 44 items would be defective.
