9. YOU BE THE TEACHER Your friend
says 9 divided by 2.5 is about 3. Is your friend's
estimate reasonable? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it's reasonable.

What you are doing is solving the question by rounding. You come up with an answer. Suppose you loose the decimal somewhere and you get 0.36? Is that reasonable? Do you just write the answer in the provided blank and move on. What now?

You get it wrong?!!

But your estimate should be about 9/3 = 3. Now you look at your calculator with great misgivings, because it made a mistake. Did it or did you? Well ultimately you did, but you have to blame something. So the calculator takes the heat.

Who  knows? Maybe the decimal doesn't work. It's stuck or something. In any event you should be aware that there's no way the answer could be 0.36 when you estimate it to be 3.

Explanation:

(I). 5/6 (4X+8) = (3/8) X - (1/4)

→ [{5(4X) + 5(8)}/6] = (3/8)X - (1/4)

→ [{20X + 40}/6] = (3/8)X - (1/4)

→ [{(20X/6) + (40/6) = (3/7)X - (1/4)

Now,

shift all variables fraction on LHS and constant fraction on RHS.

→ [(20X/6) - (3X/7)]= -(1/4) - (40/6)

Take the LCM of LHS denominator of 6&7 is 42.

→ [(140X - 18X)/42] = -(1/4)-(40/6)

→ [(122X)/42] = -(1/4)-(40/6)

Again take the LCM of the denominator in RHS i.e 4&6 is 12.

→ [(122X)/42] = (-12 - 80)/4

→ [(122X)/42] = (-92)/4

By doing Cross multiply the fraction, we get

→ 4(122X) = 42(-92)

→ 488X = -3 864

→ X = -3 864÷488

Therefore, X = -3864/488

Answer: Hence, the value of X for the given problem is -3864:488.

Explanation:

ii)Given algebraic equation is: 5(3p-5)+4p=5p-6(p+4)

→ 15p - 25 + 4p = 5p - 6p + 24

Shift all variables in LHS and constant on RHS.

→ 15p + 4p +6p = 25+24

→ 19p + 6p = 49

→ 25p = 49

Shift the number 25 from LHS to RHS.

Therefore, p = 49/25.

Answer: Hence, the value of P for the given algebraic equation is 49/25.

I have invested for a loan of Php 5,000, and I need to repay in one lump sum at the end of one year. What annual interest rate corresponds to a lump-sum payment of Php 5,425?​

Answers

Based on the information given, it can be deduced that the annual interest rate will be 8.5%.

Principal = 5000

Interest = 5425 - 5000 = 425

Time = 1 year

Rate = Unknown.

Simple Interest = PRT / 100

425 = (5000 × R × 1)/100

42500 = 5000R.

R = 42500/5000

R = 8.5%

In conclusion, the correct option is 8.5%.

Answer:

  80a²b³c

Step-by-step explanation:

As with numbers, the LCM is the product of the highest-powered factors.

  16ab³ = 2⁴×a×b³

  5a²b² = 5×a²×b²

  20ac = 2²×5×a×c

The highest power of the factor 2 is 2⁴.

The highest power of the factor 5 is 5.

The highest power of the factor a is a².

The highest power of the factor b is b³.

The highest power of the factor c is c.

The LCM is 2⁴×5×a²×b³×c = 80a²b³c

Step-by-step explanation:

Two researchers, Justin and Henry, work together to study what proportion of subjects have a certain genotype in the population. They each collect a simple random sample and they find that the sample proportion is 0.70. When they construct a confidence interval based on this sample proportion, Henry comes up with (0.632, 0.768) while Justin gets (0.652, 0.788). Indicate which interval has to be wrong and why.

Answers

Using confidence interval concepts, it is found that Justin is wrong, as his interval is not symmetric about the sample proportion of 0.7.

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound. A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds. The margin of error is the difference between the two bounds, divided by 2.

In this problem, the point estimate is of 0.7.

Henry's interval is symmetric, as [tex]0.768 - 0.7 = 0.7 - 0.632[/tex].Justin's is not, as [tex]0.788 - 0.7 \neq 0.7 - 0.652[/tex].

Hence, Justin is wrong, as his interval is not symmetric about the sample proportion of 0.7.

The bill at a. Restaurant came to 136 dollars and 40 sents the paytrons decided to leave a 15 percent tip what was the total bill including the tip

Answers

Answer:

$ 156.86

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the bill at a restaurant came to $136.40. The patrons decided to leave a 15% tip.

The total bill including tip would 136.40 plus 15% of136.40plus15136.40.

\text{Total bill}=\$136.40+\frac{15}{100}\times \$136.40Total bill=$136.40+10015×$136.40

\text{Total bill}=\$136.40+0.15\times \$136.40Total bill=$136.40+0.15×$136.40

\text{Total bill}=\$136.40+\$20.46Total bill=$136.40+$20.46

\text{Total bill}=\$156.86Total bill=$156.86

Therefore, the total cost of bill including tip would be $156.86.

$136.40 / 15% = $20.46
$136.40 + $20.46 = $156.86

Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight.

The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste.
