Both Allison and Jennifer jogged on sunday. when asked about their distances, Allison said, " i ran 2 7/8 miles this morning and 3 3/8 miles this afternoon. So, i ran a total of about 6 miles, " and Jennifer said, "i ran 3 1/10 miles this morning and 3 3/10 miles this evening. i ran a total of 6 4/10 miles."How do their answers differ? explain why they are both correct.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Their answers differ because of approximation

2. See Explanation Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Allison

[tex]Morning: 2\frac{7}{8} miles[/tex]

[tex]Afternoon: 3\frac{3}{8} miles[/tex]

Total: About 6 miles

Jennifer

[tex]Morning: 3\frac{1}{10} miles[/tex]

[tex]Afternoon: 3\frac{3}{10} miles[/tex]

Total: [tex]6\frac{4}{10} miles[/tex]

Required

How their answers differWhy they are both correct

How their answers differ

To understand how their answers differ; first we need to calculate the actual miles they both ran.

Total = Distance covered in the morning + Distance covered in the evening

For Allison

Total Distance = [tex]2\frac{7}{8} + 3\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions

Total Distance = [tex]\frac{23}{8} + \frac{27}{8}[/tex]

Take LCM and add

Total Distance = [tex]\frac{23 + 27}{8}[/tex]

Total Distance = [tex]\frac{50}{8}[/tex]

Total Distance = 6.25 miles

For Jennifer

Total Distance = [tex]3\frac{1}{10} + 3\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions

Total Distance = [tex]\frac{31}{10} + \frac{33}{10}[/tex]

Take LCM and add

Total Distance = [tex]\frac{31 + 33}{10}[/tex]

Total Distance = [tex]\frac{64}{10}[/tex]

Convert to improper fraction

Total Distance = [tex]6\frac{4}{10} miles[/tex]

From the calculation above, the total distance ran by Allison is 6.25 miles and she said she ran about 6 miles; This means that she approximated the total distance she covered.

Also from the calculation above, the total distance ran by Jennifer is [tex]6\frac{4}{10} miles[/tex] and she said she ran [tex]6\frac{4}{10} miles[/tex]; This means that she gave the actual distance she ran.

Hence, their answers differ because of approximation

Why they are both correct?

As mentioned above, the difference in their answer is approximation.

Approximation is rightly allowed in measurements as long as one is giving the right approximated value.

For Allison; the approximation of 6.25 miles is 6 miles;

For Jennifer; she gave the actual distance she ran ([tex]6\frac{4}{10} miles[/tex])

Base on this, we can conclude that both are correct

To own and operate a home printer, it costs $100 for the printer and an additional $0.05 per page for ink. To print out pages at an office store, it costs $0.25 per page. Let p represent number of pages.

(1) For the costs to be the same, how many pages do you need to print?
(2) How much does it cost to print that many pages?

Answers

Answer:

1.) 500 pages

2.) $125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the printer cost $100. To operate at home will cost

100 + 0.05P

To print out pages at an office store, it will cost 0.25P

1.) For the costs to be the same, then

100 + 0.05P = 0.25P

0.25P - 0.05P = 100

0.20P = 100

P = 100/0.2

P = 500 pages

500 pages need to be printed

2.) How much does it cost to print that many pages?

Cost = 0.25P

= 0.25 × 500

= 125 dollars

Answer: (1) You would need to print 500 pages

(2) To print 500 pages from home would cost $125

Step-by-step explanation: The cost of printing at home has been given as a fixed cost of 100 plus an additional variable cost of 0.05 per page for ink, that is, Cost = 100 + 0.05p. Also, to print at the office, the cost has been given as 0.25 per page, that is, Cost = 0.25p.

Therefore for the costs to be the same, we need to equate both cost functions (that is, C = C) as follows;

100 + 0.05p = 0.25p

Collect like terms and we now have,

100 = 0.25p - 0.05p

100 = 0.20p

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.2

500 = p

To print 500 pages at home therefore would cost,

C = 100 + 0.05p

C = 100 + 0.05(500)

C = 100 + 25

C = 125

Therefore to print 500 pages from home would cost $125

how many ounces of a 12 alcohol solution must be mixed with 6 ounces of a 20% alcohol solution to make a 16% alcohol solution?

Answers

Answer:

6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

So set your equation up as

12(x)+20(6)=16(x+6)

You set it up this way because with the first number you know the percet but not the ounces so your ounces would be x. The second set you know percet and ounces (the percent will alway go outside the parenthesis). then the last number is waht it wil equal; again we know the percent but not the product. We put x+6 in the parenthesis because you are adding the ounces your don't know(x) wiht the ones you do (6).

To solve distribute

12x+120=16x+96

Now all you have to do is solve for x. Subtract the 96 over then subtract the 12x over, so it would look like this.

12x+120=16x+96

      -96         -96

12x+24=16x

-12x       -12x

24=4x    Now simply divide by 4 and you get 6=x

There should be 6 ounces mixed in order to get the required solution.

Let the number of ounces be represented by x.

Based on the equation, the equation to use will be:

12(x) + 20(6) = 16(x + 6)

Expand the equation

12x + 120 = 16x + 96

Collect like terms

16x - 12x = 120 - 96

4x = 24

Divide both side by 4

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 6

Therefore, the number of ounces will be 6 ounces.

given as time, in seconds.
After how many seconds does the ball reach its maximum height?
seconds
What is the maximum height of the ball?
After how many seconds does the ball reach the ground?
seconds

Answers

Answer:

Below in BOLD.

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -0.2t^2 + 2t

We can find the maximum height and the time by converting to vertex form:

h(t) = -0.2(t^2 - 2t)

= -0.2[(t - 1)^2 - 1)

= -0.2(t - 1)^2 + 0.2

The time to get to maximum height = 1 second and the maximum height is 0.2 m.

When the ball reaches the ground h = 0 so

-0.2(t - 1)^2 + 0.2 = 0

(t - 1)^2 =  -0.2 / -0.2 = 1

t - 1 = 1

t = 2 seconds.

if p is 2% of k. What is 50% of k intems of P and k and if 10% of a number is 7. What is 80% of the number?​

Answers

Answer:

a.p/100

b.56

Step-by-step explanation:

2% of p=k

2/100 ×p=k

2p/100=k

Cross multiply 2p=100k

P=100k/2

p=50k

Let's make k the subject of formula

k=p/50

So 50% of k in terms of p

50/100×k

And k=p/50

So let's substitute

50/100×p/50

P/100

Therefore 50%of k=p/100

Let the unknown number be x

10% of x is 7

10/100×x=7

10x/100=7

Cross multiply

10x=(100)(7)

10x=700

Divide both sides by 10

X=70

So 80% of 70

80/100×70

5600/100

=56

Therefore 80% of 70=56

Can someone personally help me with geometry and area? Please I have more questions like that

Answers

Answer:

272

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the area on this problem has only a couple steps. First I divided the picture into two parts a rectangle and a triangle. I first found the area of the rectangle. The formula to finding a rectangle is base times height. In this case the base has a length of 19 in and has a height of 8 in. So the area of the rectangle would be 19*8= 152. Now we find the area of the triangle. To find the area of a triangle you use the formula base*height*1/2. In this case you do 20 * 12 * 1/2 = 120. Now for the last step add the areas together in this case 152+120=272. If you need help with finding the lengths reach out to me.p.s. I’m not actually 61

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is 272 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is an odd shape, the real height(20 inches according to the picture) will help us alot. But first you'll want to split the shapes. and find the areas seperately in a way. I see a rectangle on the top and triangle on the bottom. Lets find the area of the rectangle first.

To find the area, you have to multiply length and width.

A = L x W

19 x 8 = 152(the area)

So now we know the area of the rectangle, but what about the triangle? Since there is no exact base measurement for the triangle, we will add the length of the rectangle(19) and the 1 inch.

19 + 1 = 20

So the base for the triangle is 20.

To find the height of the triangle, subtract 8(the rectangle's width) from the overall height(20 inches).

20 - 8 = 12

A = [tex]h_{b}[/tex]b ÷ 2

A= 120(area)

That is not the overall area yet, we have to add the two areas now.

152 + 120 = 272

That is how you find the area for this, let me know if you need anymore help.
