Q. A machine, on an average, manufactures 2.825 screws a day. How many screws did it produce in the month of January?
Average screws per day = 2.825
January has 31 days
Total screws=2.825×31=87.575\text{Total screws} = 2.825 \times 31 = 87.575Total screws=2.825×31=87.575
Since a machine cannot produce a fraction of a screw (in most practical scenarios), we round the answer appropriately.
The machine produced approximately 88 screws in the month of January.
