Question

Find your mechanical capacity. You have 4000 zones with a 23 package per zone average. Round decimals up.

a) 92,000
b) 92,500
c) 91,500
d) 91,000

Answer 1

To find the mechanical capacity, multiply the number of zones (4,000) by the average number of packages per zone (23), which equals 92,000 packages. No rounding is needed as the product is a whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find your mechanical capacity, we need to calculate the total number of packages by multiplying the number of zones by the average number of packages per zone. Given that there are 4,000 zones and an average of 23 packages per zone, the calculation is as follows:

4,000 zones × 23 packages/zone = 92,000 packages.

When rounding decimals, as suggested by various examples, we consider the position of the most significant figure. However, in this case, our product ends up being a whole number, so there is no need for rounding.

The correct answer to how much mechanical capacity you have is 92,000 packages, which corresponds to option (a).
