Answer:

  (a) b = (4/7)c

  (b) Bill: 40 shingles/hour; Chip: 70 shingles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and c represent Bill's and Chip's rates in shingles per hour, respectively. Then we have ...

  7b = 4c

  c - b = 30 . . . . shingles per hour difference in rates

(a) Bill's rate in terms of Chip's rate can be found by dividing the first equation by 7

  b = (4/7)c . . . . . Bill's rate is 4/7 of Chip's rate

__

(b) To find the rates, we can multiply the second equation by 7 and substitute using the first equation:

  7c -7b = 210

  7c -4c = 210

  c = 210/3 = 70

  b = (4/7)(70) = 40

Bill's rate is 40 shingles per hour; Chip's rate is 70 shingles per hour.

A study found that a factory produces 6 defective computers for every 500 computers that are produced. On the average, what perc
masya89 [10]

Answer:

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for every 500 computers, 6 are defective. So, to know what percentage of computers are defective on average, we can do a rule of three:

500 computers -> 6 defective

100 computers -> X defective

500/100 = 6/X

X = 100 * 6 / 500 = 1.2

So, in average, for every 100 computers, 1.2 are defective, so the percentage is 1.2% (1.2 for every 100)
