To be fair and give proper credit, one must show their work.

For every 40 light bulbs, there are 1 defective meaning that 39 are non-defective giving us 1:39.

40 - 1 = 39

40 bad bulbs

40 bad to 960 good

40:960

divide each side by 40

960 divided by 40 =24

Levi, what HS did you go to in CT?

 

[BankerC]

Even though I got it wrong also, I busted out laughing when levi talked shit about how easy the question was, gave the wrong answer, then showed how he got the wrong answer, which made no sense at all.

40 bad bulbs

40 bad to 960 good

40:960

divide each side by 40

960 divided by 40 =24

1:24

it says 1/40 of the bulbs are defective, not 40.
