A light bulb manufacturer found that 3 out of every 268 light bulbs in every batch were bad. If they produced 22,158 light bulbs, how many are bad?(1 point)
light bulbs are bad.
82 light bulbs are bad.
Calculation:
22,158 / 268 = 82.79
Since we cannot have a fraction of a light bulb, we round down to 82.
dont round it
In that case, if 3 out of every 268 light bulbs are bad, then for 22,158 light bulbs:
22,158 / 268 = 82.4626865672
Therefore, there would be approximately 82 light bulbs that are bad in the batch of 22,158.
rong
I apologize for the mistake.
To find out how many bad light bulbs are in the batch of 22,158 light bulbs, we can set up a proportion:
3 bad light bulbs / 268 total light bulbs = x bad light bulbs / 22,158 total light bulbs
Cross multiply to solve for x:
3 * 22,158 = 268x
66,474 = 268x
x ≈ 247.98
Therefore, approximately 248 light bulbs are bad in the batch of 22,158 light bulbs.
