Question

A factory produces 60005/12

tons of steel in a month. What is its daily production?




​

Answer 1

`About\ 193 (209)/(372) \ tons\ of \ steel`

Explanation:

Given the amount of tons of steel produced monthly by a factory to be 6000 5/12 tons, to determine their daily production, we need to use the conversion;

Maximum of 31 days = 1 month

This means that the steel company produces 6000 5/12 tons of steel in 31 days.

6000 5/12 tons = 31 dsays

72,005/12 tons = 31 days

in a day, the company will therefore produce approx. (72,005/12)/31 tons of steel.

(72,005/12)/31 = 72,005/12 * 1/31

= 72,005/12*31

= 72,005/372

= 193 209/372 tons of steel.

Hence, the factory produces about
`193 (209)/(372)` tons of steel daily
