120 refrigerators out of the 196 are not defects.
Function is an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable and another variable.
According to the question,
If there are 196 refrigerators produced daily,
No. of refrigerators produce in an hour ,
[tex]\frac{196}{24} = 8[/tex]
8 are produced in an hour.
As 3 of the refrigerators produced each hour have a defect.
Therefore , we subtract both the values:
[tex]8x -3x = 5x[/tex]
5 refrigerators that are not defects.
Now 1 day = 24 Hours
So, Put x =24 in the above function
[tex]5x = 5*24 =120[/tex]
Hence, the average number of non-defective refrigerators produced per hour is 120.
