Group of answer choices

Answer 1

To express the number of defective gears as a percent, divide the number of defective gears by the total number of gears produced and multiply by 100.0.6% of the gears produced are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express the number of defective gears as a percent, we need to first find the ratio of defective gears to the total number of gears produced. In this case, there are 3 defective gears for every 500 produced. The ratio is 3/500.

To express this ratio as a percent, we multiply it by 100. So, (3/500) x 100 = 0.6%. Therefore, the Quality Assurance department found that 0.6% of the gears produced are defective.

Answer 2

0.6%??


I did 3 divided by 500 and got 0.006 then moved the decimal places to transform the decimal to fraction which ends up being 0.6%
