Question

A company that creates steering wheels for cars found that 2 of the steering wheels manufactured each hour yesterday were defective. If 50 steering wheels were manufactured each hour yesterday, what percent of the steering wheels were defective?

Answer 1

2 steering wheels manufactured each hour were defected
There were 50 steering wheels manufactured per hour
The fraction is
`(2)/(50)`
Divide 2, which is the numerator by 50, which is the denominator
2÷50=.04
To change any decimal into a fraction, multiply by 100
The multiply .04 by 100 to change into a percentage
.04×100=4.⇒4%
4% is the percentage of defective steering wheels
