Answer: 2.2 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The data is:
The initial piece is 6.35 meters long.
We cut 25 pieces of 16.2cm each, so in pieces only we have:
25*16.2cm = 405cm
1m = 100cm
Then: 405cm = (405/100) m = 4.05m
And each time that we cut a piece, we have 4mm of waste.
Then we have 25 times the 4mm of waste, this means that the total waste is:
4mm*25 = 100mm
and 1000mm = 1m
100mm = (100/1000) m = 0.1m
So the total amount that was cut is:
4.05m + 0.1m = 4.15m
The length in the channel iron will be: 6.35m - 4.15m = 2.2 meters
What you wanna do here is use a calculator, as "e" in mathematics refers to the "e" on a calculator. The tricky part about this question is that the answer for the equation is the given percentage, NOT the value for "x". From there, plug in the multiple choice answers for "x" and see which one works!
In this case, A is the correct answer. B is absurdly large, so I omitted it immediately in the attached picture.
Probability is about estimating or calculating how likely or 'probable' something is to happen.
