Problem

If a factory produces 500 units of a product every hour, what fraction of the first 24,000 units are produced in the first 2 days?

2

Step

Calculate the total production in the first 2 days:

Calculate the total production in the first 2 days. The factory produces 500 units per hour, and there are 24 hours a day. Therefore, the daily production is

\$500 (units) / (hour) \times 24 (hours) / (day) = 12,000 (units) / (day)\$

3

Step

Determine the fraction of the first 24,000 units produced in the first 2 days:

The factory produces exactly 24,000 units in the first 2 days, the fraction is:

→ \$("Units produced in 2 days") / ("first 24000 units")\$

→ \$(24000) / (24000)\$ = 1

4

Solution

Therefore, the fraction of the first 24,000 units produced in the first 2 days is 1.

Choices

6

Choice-A

This option is incorrect because it shows only one-sixth of the 24,000 units were produced in the first 2 days, which is incorrect as shown by our calculation

Wrong \$1/6\$

7

Choice-B

This option is correct because 1 unit will be produced in the first 2 days

Correct 1

8

Choice-C

This option is incorrect because it implies that only one-tenth of the total 24,000 units are produced in the first 2 days

Wrong \$1/(10)\$

9

Choice-D

This option is incorrect because when we calculate \$1/(12)\$ it will result in 2000 units which is far greater than our calculation

Wrong \$1/(12)\$
