Trevin Zavala · Answer 1

125 defective jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that;

During inspections, 5 defective pairs of jeans are found in a shipment of 200 pairs of jeans.

We are supposed to determine the number of defective jeans in a shipment of 5000 pairs, if the trend continues.

Therefore;

5 defective = 200 pairs

What about in 5000 pairs?

Number of defective pairs = (5000 * 5) : 200

= 125 defective pairs

Thus, in a shipment of 5000 pairs of jeans there will be 125 defective pairs
