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.

Respuesta :

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,

[tex]\frac{3}{175}  = \frac{m}{1050}[/tex]

or, [tex]m = \frac{1050  \times 3}{175}  = 18[/tex]

m = 18

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