The table below presents annual production and resource consumption metrics for four semiconductor fabrication plants in 2025.

Fab FacilitySilicon Wafers Processed (in thousands)Solvent Used per Wafer (in mL)Total Electricity Consumed (in MWh)
Fab Alpha4508003,600
Fab Beta6005004,200
Fab Gamma2501,2002,750
Fab Delta8004505,200

Note: 1 kiloliter (kL)=1,000 liters (L)=1,000,000 milliliters (mL)1\text{ kiloliter (kL)} = 1,000\text{ liters (L)} = 1,000,000\text{ milliliters (mL)}.

Based on the table, what was the total volume of solvent used by Fab Alpha in 2025, expressed in kiloliters (kL)?

Cevap: 360 kL

Cevap

The total volume of solvent used by Fab Alpha in 2025 was 360 kL.
To find the total solvent used by Fab Alpha in kiloliters, first account for the scale factor in the wafer column header: Fab Alpha processed 450 thousand wafers, which is 450×1,000=450,000450 \times 1,000 = 450,000 wafers. Next, calculate the volume in milliliters: 450,000 wafers×800 mL/wafer=360,000,000 mL450,000 \text{ wafers} \times 800 \text{ mL/wafer} = 360,000,000 \text{ mL}. Finally, convert to kiloliters by dividing by 1,000,0001,000,000 (1 kL=1,000,000 mL1 \text{ kL} = 1,000,000 \text{ mL}), which gives 360 kL360 \text{ kL}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Extract wafer volume with scale multiplier
Fab Alpha processed 450,000 wafers.
The table column header specifies 'in thousands', requiring a multiplier of 1,000.
2
Calculate total solvent volume in milliliters
Total solvent volume = 360,000,000 mL.
Multiply 450,000 wafers by 800 mL per wafer.
3
Convert volume to target unit (kiloliters)
360 kL.
Divide 360,000,000 mL by 1,000,000 mL per kL.
