Answer:

150,000.

Explanation:

Given that an insector found 24 defective cameras during an inspection and this is 0.016% of the total numbers of cameras inspected, to determine how many cameras were inspected the following calculation must be performed:

0.016 = 24

100 = X

100 x 24 / 0.016 = X

2,400 / 0.016 = X

150,000 = X

Thus, the total number of cameras that were inspected is 150,000.
