There were 3,496 parts in total that were tooled by the machine.

Assuming the total number of parts tooled is x, that means that 1/8 of x is 437 parts because that was the proportion of the total that was rejected.

To find the total number of parts therefore, use the formula:

Proportion of rejects × x = Number of parts rejected

1/8 × x = 437

1/8x = 437

x = 437 ÷ 1/8

x = 437 x 8

x = 3,496 parts

In conclusion, there was 3,496 parts.

lesya692 [45]

Answer: The approximate values that every player make are,

Tammy = grace = 5.43 baskets

Jenny = 16.30 Baskets

Alex = 11.43 Baskets

Joan = 1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Grace made x baskets.

Then According to the question,

Jenny made baskets = 3x

Alexis made basket = x + 6

Joan made basket = x - 4

Tammy made baskets = x

Since, Altogether the five players made 40 baskets.

⇒ x+ 3x + x + 6 + x - 4 + x = 40

⇒ 7x + 2 = 40

⇒ 7x = 38

⇒ x = 38 / 7 = 5.42857142857 ≈ 5.43

Thus, Grace made baskets= Tammy made baskets = x = 5.43

Jenny made baskets = 3 × x = 16.2857142857 ≈ 16.30

Alexis made basket = x + 6 = 11.4285714286 ≈ 11.43

Joan made basket = x - 4 = 1.42857142857

≈ 1.43

100m In 9 3/5 seconds

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Speed = 10.42 m/secs

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given with:-

Distance = 100m

Time taken = 9 $\frac{3}{5}$ secs

1) First, we need to convert the mixed number 9 $\frac{3}{5}$ to an improper fraction.

Method to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction

 $a\frac{b}{c} = \frac{c*a+b}{c}$ 

Applying the above formula, we get

9 $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{5*9+3}{5}$

= $\frac{45+3}{5}$

= $\frac{48}{5}$

2) Now we need to convert $\frac{48}{5}$ into a decimal by dividing 48 by 5.

We get time taken as 9.6 secs

3) We need to find the speed using the below formula:-

Speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time taken}$

Plugging the values of Distance and Time taken into the formula, we get

Speed = $\frac{100}{9.6}$

= 10.416 m/secs

4) Upon rounding it to the nearest hundredth, we get

Speed = 10.42 m/secs
