In a factory a, about 3 out of every 2,000 toys have a defect. in factory b, about 5 out of every 4,500 toys have a defect. one week, each factory produced 18,000 toys. which factory had the greater number of toys with defects? solve. use a proportion to solve.

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Factory A proportion:

3 : 2,000

Factory B proportion:

5 : 4,500 (this can be simplified):

1 : 900

Now plug in 18,000 to each proportion:

Factory A:

x : 18,000

3 : 2,000

x = 27

Factory B:

x : 18,000

1 : 900

x = 20

Factory A had the greater amount of defects, 27

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
