Question

A machine manufactures 5782 screws every day. How many screws will it manufacture in the month of April?

Answer 1

Hint: For solving this question you should know about the general knowledge of the number of days in every month and multiply them with a number. In this problem first we will find the number of days in the month of April and then we will calculate the total number of screws by multiplying a single day manufacturing product with the total number of days.

Complete step by step solution:
According to the question it is asked to find how much product a machine can manufacture in the month of April if it manufactures 5782 products daily. As we know that the efficiency of a person or anything is the ratio of the total work with the total number of days for that work. It means efficiency of any machine is the rate of producing products within unit time. We can write it as:
$\text{Efficiency}=\dfrac{\text{Total work}}{\text{Total time (in hrs/days/weeks etc)}}$
So, here we want to calculate the total work. But total time is not given. As we know that there are 30 days in the month of April and the machine produces a total number of 5782 screws in one day. So,
$\begin{align}
  & 5782=\dfrac{\text{Total work}}{30} \\
 & \Rightarrow \text{Total work}=5782\times 30 \\
 & =173460 \\
\end{align}$
So, the total number of screws produced in the month of April are 173460.

Note: While solving these types of questions, you have to keep in mind that the efficiency is given for a unit time and that unit time can be in minutes, hours, days, months, years, etc. So, we have to see our unit time as asked in the question and then convert that with the original measurement of time. And thus we can solve these easily.
