During a cross-country road trip, Nathan predicts that he will average 22.6 miles per gallon.
During the trip, he drives 2,882 miles and uses 131 gallons of gas. Calculate his percent error,
rounded to the nearest whole percent.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a) 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Nathan's actual mileage was ...

  (2882 mi)/(131 gal) = 22.0 mi/gal

The error can be computed from ...

  error % = (predicted/actual -1) × 100% = (22.6/22 -1) × 100% ≈ 2.73%

Nathan's prediction was high by about 3%.

Sofia has 25 coins in nickels and dimes in her pocket for a total of $1.65. How many of each type of coin does she have?

Answers

Answer:

17 nickels

8 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

n + d = 25

.05n + .10d = 1.65

use substitution:  n = 25-d

.05(25-d) + .10d = 1.65

1.25 - .05d + .10d = 1.65

.05d = .40

d = 8    ∴ n = 17

What is the height, in yards, of a cylindrical water tank that holds 1,884 cubic yards of water and has a diameter of 120 feet? Be sure to convert so you are using like units.

Answers

Answer:

The height of the tank is 0.5 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine what is the height, in yards, of a cylindrical water tank that holds 1,884 cubic yards of water and has a diameter of 120 feet, knowing that the volume of a cylinder is equal to pi multiplied by the radius squared, multiplied by the height, the following calculation must be done:

1 foot = 0.3333 yards

R = Diameter / 2

R = 120/2 = 60

3.14 x 60 ^ 2 x H = 1,884

3.14 x 3,600 x H = 1,884

3.14 x 1,200 x H = 1,884

3.768 x H = 1.884

H = 1,884 / 3,768

H = 0.5

Therefore, the height of the tank is 0.5 yards.

Answers

Answer:

Volume = 2880m²

Surface area = 1632m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The prism shown is a triangular prism

The volume of the prism can be found by multiplying the area of the base by the length of the prism

The base being a triangle.

The area of a triangle can be calculated by using this formula

[tex]A=\frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

where b = base length and h = height

The base length of the particular triangle is 12 m and the height is 16

That being said we plug in the values into the formula

[tex]A=\frac{12*16}{2} \\12*16=192\\\frac{192}{2} =96[/tex]

Hence the area of the base is 96 square meters

Finally we multiply the area of the base by the length of the prism ( which is 30 m )

So volume = 96 * 30

96 * 30 = 2880

Hence the volume of the triangular prism is 2880m²

Now to find the surface area

Kindly check the image below for information on the formula for surface area of a triangular prism

Formula = [tex]SA=bh+L(s_1+s_2+s_3)[/tex]

where b = base length

h = height of base

L = length of prism

S1 also = base

S2 = base height

S3 = slant height of base

The shown triangle has the following dimensions

b = 12

h = 16

L = 30

S1 = 12

S2 = 16

S3 = 20

Now that we have identified each dimension, we plug in the values into the formula

[tex]SA=16*12 + 30(12+16+20)\\16*12=192\\30*12=360\\30*16=480\\30*20=600\\600+192+480+360=1632\\SA=1632m^2[/tex]

So we can conclude that the surface area of the triangular prism is 1632m²

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This one is quite simple

The shape formed inside of the circle is a quadrilateral.

when a quadrilateral is formed inside of a circle opposite angles of the quadrilateral will add up to 180

we are given x's opposite angle so we can find x by subtracting the given angle's measure (44) from 180

so x = 180 - 44

180 - 44 = 136

hence, x = 136

Find the area of the triangle

Answers

Answer:

The answer to this problem is 12.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is b * h * 1/2 or divide by 2 (base times height times one-half or two).

Since this is a equilateral triangle, all of the sides are equivalent to each other.  Since we know one of the sides is 5, all of the sides are 5.

5 * 5 = 25

Then you need to multiply this answer by 1/2 or divide by 2, whichever is easier.

25 / 2 = 12.5

The answer is 12.5.

Find 2a-3b as a column vector

Answers

Answer:

(-9, 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the column vector be represented as a = (3, 4) and b = (5, -2)

2a = 2(3,4)

2a = (6,8)

3b = 3(5, -2)

3b = (15, -6)

Take the difference 2a - 3b

2a - 3b = (6,8) - (15, -6)

2a - 3b = (6-15, 8 -(-6))

2a - 3b = (-9, 14)

Hence the column vector is (-9, 14)

We want to find 2a - 3b as a column vector, we will get:

[tex]2a - 3b = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-9\\14\end{array}\right][/tex]

So we want to perform a sum (difference actually) of vectors, we have that:

[tex]a = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3\\4\end{array}\right] \\\\\\b= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\-2\end{array}\right][/tex]

Remember that when we multiply a vector by a scalar, each component gets multiplied by that scalar, so we have:

[tex]2a = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2*3\\2*4\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}6\\8\end{array}\right] \\\\\\3b= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3*5\\3*-2\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}15\\-6\end{array}\right][/tex]

Now we just perform the direct difference:

[tex]2a - 3b = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}6\\8\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}15\\-6\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}6 - 15\\8 + 6\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-9\\14\end{array}\right][/tex]

Draw a Venn diagram to represent this information.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A Venn diagram depicts the logical relationships between two or more sets of elements by using alternating circles or other shapes. They're often used to visually arrange information, showing how objects are similar and different. In the fields of mathematics and statistics, Venn diagrams, also known as "set diagrams" or "logic diagrams," are commonly used.

From the given information:

Since we are to represent the given question into a Venn diagram, the diagram is being attached in the image below.

From the image below, we represent:

P =students that played Paino

G = students that played guitar

F = students that played flute

P = 50

G = 68

F = 59

(PUG) -35

(PUF) = 59

(GUF) = 40

since the value of (PUGUF) is not given, we represent it with x.

Raymond bought wrapping paper that cost

Answers

Answer: $46.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the surface Area of the box

the bases are 12*12= 144 times 2 bases 144*2= 288

The area of each side is 12*18=216 times 4 sides 216*4=864

add the totals together to find the total surface area 288+864=1152

total surface area is 1152 inches. Multiply by the cost per square inch

1152*.04= 46.08

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,-2) and is
parallel to the line x - y = 5?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=x+3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need to know

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)Parallel lines have the same slope

1) Rewrite the equation x - y = 5 into slope-intercept form and identify the slope

[tex]x - y = 5[/tex]

Subtract both sides by x

[tex]x - y -x= -x+5\\-y= -x+5[/tex]

Divide both sides by -1

[tex]y= x-5[/tex]

Now, we can tell clearly that the slope (m) of this line is 1. Therefore, a line parallel to this would also have a slope of 1.

Plugging 1 as m into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], we get:

[tex]y=x+b[/tex]

2) Find the y-intercept (b) of the line parallel to [tex]y= x-5[/tex] and find the final equation

[tex]y=x+b[/tex]

Plug in the given point (-5,-2)

[tex]-2=-5+b[/tex]

Add 5 to both sides

[tex]-2+5=-5+b+5\\3=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept of this line is 3. Now, plugging this back into our original equation, we get:

[tex]y=x+b\\y=x+3[/tex]

I hope this helps!
