The assembly of a machine takes 3/4 hour there are 12 steps in the assembly process what is the average time for each step

1 answer:

5 0

We can solve this two different ways. I'll do both, and you choose which one makes the most sense:
We can divide the fraction 3/4 by 12. remember, when we divide fractions, we flip the second fraction and change the sign to multiplication:
3/4 ÷12 [starting equation]
3/4 x 1/12 [flip and change sign]
3/48 [now reduce]
1/16 Each step takes 1/16 of an hour.
1/16 x 60 = 3 3/4, or 3.75 minutes

Second way:
3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60...45 minutes.
Still, we divide out:
45 ÷ 12 [starting equation]
3 9/12 [divide with remainder]
3 3/4 minutes...3.75 minutes

A study shows that employees who begin their workday at 9:00 a.m. vary their times of arrival uniformly from 8:40 a.m. to 9:30 a

Answer:

0.2 or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the times of arrival vary uniformly, there is an equal chance of an employee reporting at any given time between 8:40 and 9:30.

The range between 8:40 and 9:30 is 50 minutes.

The range between 9:00 and 9:10 is 10 minutes.

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen employee reports to work between 9:00 and 9:10 is:

$P(9:00\leq X\leq 9:10)=\frac{10}{50}=0.20=20\%$
