A machine manufactures 2,825 screws per day. How many screws did it produce in the year 2004, assuming that the machine works on all days of the year? Hint: 2004 was a leap year.
Answer (2)
In the year 2004, which was a leap year, the machine produced 1,033,950 screws. This is calculated by multiplying the daily production of 2,825 screws by the 366 days of the year. Thus, the total production amounted to 1,033,950 screws.

To calculate the total number of screws produced by the machine in the year 2004, we need to first consider how many days the machine operates in a leap year. A leap year, like 2004, has 366 days because February has 29 days instead of 28.
The machine manufactures 2,825 screws per day . To find the total production for the year:
Identify the number of days in a leap year:
2004 is a leap year with 366 days.
Calculate the total number of screws produced in the year:
Total screws = 2 , 825 × 366
Perform the multiplication:
2825 × 366 = 1 , 033 , 650
The machine produced a total of 1,033,650 screws in the year 2004.
