Andrew [12]3 years ago

Answer:

To have one significant figure means to have one number with a significant value. Since all of the answers are greater than one, the final answer with the correct sig figs involves using the two leftmost numbers. If the second leftmost number is greater than 5, round the leftmost number up one unit. If the number is less than 5, leave the leftmost number alone. Finally, change all of the values besides the leftmost to zero. There should be no decimal place because having it would mean the zeros to the left of the decimal place are significant.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

School X: 8 points School Y: 2.6̅ or 6 repeating.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you know that School X has <em>8 points</em>, and School Y has <em>3 times less</em>, you have to divide 8 by 3. When you do that, you get 2.6̅, or 2.6 repeating, which means that you have 2 that goes into 3 goes into 8 3 times, because 3 x 3 would be 9, which is bigger than 8. Anyway, when you divide again because you have to add a decimal point after the number to keep dividing, <em>you keep getting 6</em>. it's never going to change, because thats what 6̅ is. 6 REPEATING.

I hope this helps! ;)

Please help with this algebra question
zhannawk [14.2K]
Perimeter: P=24 ft
Lenght: L
Width: W

The length is 2 ft longer than the width:
(1) L= W+2 ft

Perimeter: P=2(W+L)
P=24 ft
2(W+L)=24 ft
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2(W+L)/2 =(24 ft)/2
(2) W+L=12 ft

We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) L=W+2
(2) W+L=12

Using the method of substitution: Replacing L by W+2 in the second equation:
(2) W+L=12
W+(W+2)=12
W+W+2=12
2W+2=12

Solving foe W
2W+2-2=12-2
2W=10
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2W/2=10/2
W=5

Replacing W by 5 in the first equation:
(1) L=W+2
L=5+2
L=7

Answers:
What is the width?  5 ft
What is the length? 7 ft
