Question

In an automobile parts factory, for every 175 carburetors 3 are found to be defective. At that rate how many carbureatots out of 1,050 could be expective to be detective.

Answer 1

Answer:

At the same  rate 18  carburetors out of 1,050 could be expected to be detective.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of carburetors tested = 175

Defective pieces out o f 175 = 3

So, ratio of defected to tested =    3   :    175

Now, the number of carburetors tested in second batch = 1,050

Here, let the defective pieces = m

So, by the Ratio of Proportion,

$\frac{3}{175} = \frac{m}{1050}$

or, $m = \frac{1050 \times 3}{175} = 18$

⇒ m = 18

Hence, at the same  rate 18  carburetors out of 1,050 could be expected to be detective.
