Ankur estimated the quotient of 15 1/3 divided by -4 2/3 to be 3. Which best describes his error?
Ankur multiplied the compatible numbers 15 and –3.
Ankur found that the quotient of a positive number and a negative number is negative.
Ankur found that the quotient of a positive number and a negative number is positive.
Ankur added the compatible numbers 15 and –3.

Answers

Answer 1

When dividing a positive number by a negative number, the result is negative.

A better estimation would be -3.


Answer 2

Solution:

As the two numbers [tex]15 \frac{1}{3} {\text{and} -4\frac{2}{3}[/tex] are mixed fractions.

[tex]15 \frac{1}{3}= \frac{46}{3} \\\\ -4\frac{2}{3}= \frac{-14}{3}[/tex]

Now,  [tex]\frac{ \frac{46}{3}}{\frac{-14}{3}}[/tex] = - 3

Ankur's answer= 3

The mistake he has committed , while dividing two fractions , he must have forgot that one of the fraction which is in the denominator bears negative sign  before it.

So, [tex]\frac {+}{-}= -[/tex].

Ankur forgot to put negative sign before 3.

So, The correct option which describes ankur's error is : Ankur found that the quotient of a positive number and a negative number is positive.

Option 3 is right choice.

The moon was about 240,000 miles from earth. What is the distance written as a whole number by a power of ten?

Answers

Answer

This answer is

[tex]24 * 10^4[/tex]

Explanation:

In power of ten notation, exponent tells us that how many times 10 is to be multiplied by itself to equal the number we wish to write. So we can write the above scenario as follows:

[tex]240,000 * 10^0[/tex]

[tex]240, 00 * 10^1[/tex]

[tex]240, 0 * 10^2[/tex]

[tex]240 * 10^3[/tex]

[tex]24 * 10^4[/tex]

So, the 10 will be multiply 4 times with 24 to get the same answer as 240,000

a group of college students was surveyed to see how old they were when they had their first job. the results were as follows:15% were 14 years old;50% were 15 years old; 20% were 16 years old; and 15% were 17 years old. which of the following is the mode or modes for the data set?
A.15
B.15.5
C.14&17
D.50

Answers

The answer would be... B

Answer: A.15

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the mode of a data set is a data value that occurs most of the time than the rest other values.

Given : A group of college students was surveyed to see how old they were when they had their first job.

The results were as follows:

:15% were 14 years old;

50% were 15 years old;

20% were 16 years old;

15% were 17 years old.

We can that the highest percentage (i.e. 50% ) is of 15 years old students.

It means that the mode of the data set is 15 .

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

If the ratio of silver nail paints to golden paints is 4 to 2 and there are total 60 nail paints, how many of them are golden?

Answers

20,


So, there are 6 total parts,

X = 60/6

Each X = 10

So, 10*2 = 20


20 of them are golden.

To determine the number of golden nail paints, the total nail paints (60) are divided by the sum of the ratio parts (3), resulting in 20 nail paints per part. Multiplying the part for golden paints (1) by 20 gives us 20 golden nail paints.

The ratio of silver nail paints to golden paints is given as 4 to 2, which simplifies to a ratio of 2 to 1. This means that for every 2 silver nail paints, there is 1 golden nail paint. If there are a total of 60 nail paints, we need to determine how many of them are golden. To find out, we divide the total number of nail paints by the sum of the ratio parts (2 + 1 = 3 parts). Hence, each part represents 20 nail paints (60 ÷ 3).

To calculate the number of golden nail paints, we then multiply the number of parts for golden paints (which is 1 part) by the nail paints per part, so we get 20 x 1 = 20 golden nail paints.

To lose one pound of fat, a 200-pound person must burn 3,500 calories. If that person burns 180 calories by walking for 30 minutes, how many hours and minutes does the person have to walk to lose two pounds? Round your answer to the nearest minute. A. 53 hours 38 minutes B. 38 hours 53 minutes C. 19 hours 27 minutes D. 39 hours

Answers

It would be c because 3500*2 is 7000. So 7000 / 180 is 38.8. So he has to walk 30 minutes, 38 times, so 30 time 38 minutes will get you 1166 mins and divided by 60 mins in an hour will get you 19.4 hours which is closest to C.

For this case we have:

You lose 180 calories by walking 30min, that is:

180cal ---------> 30min

If to lose 1 pound of fat, the person should burn 3500 calories, to lose 2 pounds should burn twice the calories, that is, 7000 calories.

You want to know how long it takes to burn 7000 calories, knowing that they burn 180 in 30min. So:

180cal ---------> 30min

7000cal -------> x

Where x represents the time that must be used to burn the 7000 calories.

Resolving we have:

[tex]x = \frac{(7000cal * 30min)}{180cal}\\[/tex]

[tex]x = 1166.7min\\[/tex]

If 1h has 60min, then:

[tex]x = \frac{ (1166.7min * 1h)}{60min}\\[/tex]

[tex]x = 19.44h\\\\x = (19h + 0.44h)\\[/tex]

0.44h equals [tex]0.44 * 60min = 26.4min\\[/tex]

Thus, for the person to burn 7000 calories and lose 2 pounds, he must walk [tex]x = 19h + 26.4min[/tex].

Answer:

[tex]x = 19h + 26.4min\\[/tex]

Three friends each have some ribbon. Carol has 90 inches of ribbon, tino has 13.5 feet of ribbon, and baxter has 1.5 yards of ribbon. Express the total length of ribbon the three friends have in inches, feet, and yards.

Answers

306 inches, 8.5 yards, and 25.5 feet.

To find the total length of ribbon Carol, Tino, and Baxter have, first convert each length into the same unit. The total length of ribbon is 306 inches, 25.5 feet, or 8.5 yards when combining all their ribbons.

The lengths of ribbon that Carol, Tino, and Baxter have must be expressed in the same unit to find the total length. We will convert all lengths into inches, feet, and yards.

Carol's ribbon: 90 inches

Tino's ribbon: 13.5 feet × 12 inches/foot = 162 inches

Baxter's ribbon: 1.5 yards × 3 feet/yard = 4.5 feet then 4.5 feet × 12 inches/foot = 54 inches

Total Length in Inches:

90 + 162 + 54 = 306 inches

Total Length in Feet:

306 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 25.5 feet

Total Length in Yards:

25.5 feet ÷ 3 feet/yard = 8.5 yards

Now we have the total length of ribbon in all three units: inches, feet, and yards.

Answers

Remark

Multiply both sides of the equation by 25. Then you have an equation that you have already done probably.

Step One

Multiply both sides of the equation by 25

1 * (20 - t) = 4t - (3/5) * 25    Every part of the equation must be multiplied by 25

(20 - t) = 4t - 75/5                 3*25/5 = 75/5

20 - t = 4t - 15                       Add t to both sides

20 - t + t =4t + t  - 15             Combine like terms

20 = 5t - 15                            Add 15 to both sides

20 + 15 = 5t - 15 + 15             Combine like terms  

35 = 5t                                    Divide by 5

Given m∠D = 70°, m∠E = 42, and m∠EHG = 68°, prove DF is parallel to GH.

Answers

we know that

If DF is parallel to GH

then

the measure of the angle EGH must be equal to 70° by corresponding angles

so

Find the measure of the angle EGH

In the triangle EGH

the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees

42°+68°+∠EGH=180°

solve for ∠EGH

∠EGH=180-(42+68)

∠EGH=180-110

∠EGH=70°

therefore

The lines DF and GH are parallel

What is the domain of the function represented by the mapping diagram below?

{-1,3,5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A mapping is a subset of ordered pair (x,y) where x belongs to first set and y belongs to second set.

Hence a mapping is a subset of cartesian product AXB.

Here A = {-2,1,3,5} and

B = {2,4,6,8}

Ordered pair given by the mapping is

(-2,1) (3,6) and (5,8)

In other words, -2 is mapped on to 1, 3 to 6 and 5 to 8

Domain = set of elements in the I set which are mapped

Answers

Answer:

Refer below

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is said to be increasing if y increases whenever x increases and y decreases whenever x decreases.

A function is decreasing if y increases when x decreases or vice versa.

Hence from the graph we find that when the curve is going up when we move to right the function is increasing otherwise decreasing.

f(x) attains its extreme values at x = -8, -3, 2 and 6

Left of -8 we find f(x) is increasing.

ie.(-infty, -8) increases, (-8,-3)decreases, (-3,2) increases, (2,6) decreases and (6,infty) increases

To consolidate increasing in (-infty, -8)U(-3,2)U(6,infty)

and decreses in (-8,-3)U(2,6)

We have to find if triangles are similar or not and if they are similar then to find their ratio.

Since, We are given with only sides of the triangle.

Then if they are similar then they will be by Side-Side-Side similarity criteria.

Here, Two triangles are said to be similar by Side-Side-Side Criteria if ratio of their sides are equal.

But clearly from given values , all ratios are not equal.
