Look at some shorter periods of time to decide whether their reasonable. Do that by simplifying the fraction. . . . . 40,000 pounds / 80 years = 4,000 pounds / 8 years = 2,000 pounds (1 ton) / 4 years = 1,000 pounds / 2 years (have you decided yet ? Well, simplify it some more) 1,000 pounds / 2 years = 500 pounds per year = almost 1 and 1/2 pounds of bread every day of your life. NOW what do you think ? Make sense ?

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<h2>1.14%</h2>

Step by step explanation

Step one:

The total pieced produces is 2374

total defective is 27

to find the percentage of the defective pieces, we would need to divide the total pieces of the defective by the total number of pieces produced by the machine and multiply the result by 100

Step two

% defecive= (27/2374)*100

% defecive= 0.0113*100

% defecive= 1.137%

<u>To the nearest hundredth of a percent 1.14%</u>
