Answer 1

The recycle percent as a rate per 100 is 0.03 per hour.

And 12 dolls are recycled each hour during production.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete so below is the complete question:

A factory produces toy dolls at a rate of 400 per hour and has to recycle 3% of them because the clothes are torn. Express the recycle percent as a rate per 100. How many dolls are recycled each hour during production?

Now, to express the recycle percent as a rate per 100, And to find the number of dolls are recycled each hour during production.

Number of dolls factory produces at rate per hour = 400.

Percent of recycle = 3%.

So, to express the recycle percent as a rate per 100:

`3\%\ per\ 100`

`=(3)/(100) \ per\ hour`

`=0.03\ per\ hour.`

So, to get the number of dolls are recycled each hour during production:

3% of number of dolls factory produces at rate per hour.

`=(3)/(100) * 400`

`=0.03* 400`

`=12.`

The dolls are recycled each hour = 12.

Therefore, the recycle percent as a rate per 100 is 0.03 per hour.

And 12 dolls are recycled each hour during production.
