Question

A factory was contracted to produce 4,440 light bulbs in one year. If the factory plans to produce the same number of light bulbs in each month, how many light bulbs will it need to produce each month?

A. 888 light bulbs
B. 370 light bulbs
C. 444 light bulbs
D. 370 light bulbs

Answer 1

The factory needs to produce 370 light bulbs each month to meet the contract of producing a total of 4,440 light bulbs in one year.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many light bulbs the factory will need to produce each month, we divide the total annual production by the number of months in a year. There are 12 months in a year, so we divide 4,440 light bulbs by 12.

4,440 light bulbs ÷ 12 months = 370 light bulbs per month

Therefore, the factory needs to produce 370 light bulbs each month to meet the annual goal of producing 4,440 bulbs.
