Question

A machine, on average, manufactures 2,825 screws a day. How many screws did it produce in the month of January 2006?

Answer 1

Number of screws made in a day = 2,825

The number of days in January 2006 was 31

Number of screws made by the machine in January 2006 = (Number of screws made in a day) × (Number of days in January 2006)

Number of screws made by the machine in January 2006 = 2,825 × 31 = 87,575

Hence, in January 2006 the machine made 87,575 screws.
