The correct Answer is:
To find the number of defective bulbs produced each day by the factory, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Ratio of Defective Bulbs The problem states that 1 out of every 10 bulbs is defective. This means that the ratio of defective bulbs to total bulbs is: \[ \text{Ratio of defective bulbs} = \frac{1}{10} \] ### Step 2: Determine the Total Number of Bulbs Produced The factory produces a total of 630 bulbs each day. ### Step 3: Set Up the Equation Let \( x \) be the number of defective bulbs produced each day. According to the ratio, we can set up the following equation: \[ \frac{x}{630} = \frac{1}{10} \] ### Step 4: Cross Multiply To solve for \( x \), we will cross-multiply: \[ 1 \times 630 = 10 \times x \] This simplifies to: \[ 630 = 10x \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) Now, divide both sides by 10 to isolate \( x \): \[ x = \frac{630}{10} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x = 63 \] ### Conclusion Therefore, the number of defective bulbs produced each day is: \[ \boxed{63} \]
