Answer 1

Answer:

200 notebooks

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided Information:

1) 8 out of every 500 notebooks contain a defect

2) 2500 notebooks are produced per day

We need to find out how many defective notebooks are produced per day:

1) 2500 ÷ 500 = 5

2) 8 x 5 = 40

Next we need to find out how many notebooks are defective per week:

1) 40 x 5 = 200 defective notebooks per week
