Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y represent the number of parts in the shipment.

Number of Defective parts found in the shipment= 15

Percentage (%) of known Defective parts in the shipment = 3%

3% = 3/100

Therefore,

(3 ÷ 100) × Y = 15

We have

3Y ÷ 100 = 15

Cross multiply

3Y = 15 × 100

3Y = 1500

Y = 1500 ÷ 3

Y = 500

Therefore, the number of parts in the shipment is 500.

If 3% out of 100% are defective it would be 3 out of every 100, and 3 multiplied by 5 is 15. Then you multiply 100 by 5 and its 500 so out of 500 parts 15 would be defective

Jamie has 7/10 of a pound of chicken to cook for dinner if she's going to put the chicken in between three people how much chick
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Each person will get \frac{7}{30} or approximately 0.23 pounds of chicken.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem involving fractions.  Using key words and phrases from the problem, we can decide which operation we need to use to solve.  Since Jamie is splitting the chicken equally between three people, she would need to divide the amount of chicken she has by 3:

\frac{7}{10}÷\frac{3}{1}

Since we can't divide fractions, we need to use the 'keep-change-flip' rule to keep the first fraction, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction:

\frac{7}{10}*\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{30}

We can convert the fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator:  7÷30≈0.23 pounds per person.
