Answer 1

The standard quantity of metal per​ ring is 0.57 kilograms.

Explanation:

Each ring requires 0.52 kilograms of a special metal.

The allowance for waste is 0.03 kilograms per​ ring, while the allowance for rejects is 0.02 kilograms per ring.

So, the standard quantity of metal per​ ring = 0.52 kg of metal required + 0.03 kg of allowance for waste + 0.02 kg of allowance for rejects)

=
`0.52+0.03+0.02=0.57` kilograms.

Hence, the standard quantity of metal per​ ring is 0.57 kilograms.
