Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrew [12]2 years ago
7 0

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.

saw5 [17]
The vertical distance between Dean and Jeff is 13 ft below the surface

Explanation:

Jeff dove 39 ft below the surface and then ascends 18 ft

-39 - 18 = 21

Jeff is 21 ft below the surface

Yolanda wants to complete the 50-mile biathlon in 5 hours. she gets her jogging rate up 6 miles/hour and her biking rate up to 1
melamori03 [73]
Let x be the number of hours she jogs, and y be the number of hours she bikes.
The total time would then be x + y = 5
The total distance (based on the given speeds) would be 6x + 12y = 50
Multiply the first equation by 6 to get 6x + 6y = 30
Subtract this from the second equation to get 6y = 20
y = 10/3 or 3 1/3
Substitute this value back into the first equation to get x = 5/3 or 1 2/3
Therefore, Yolanda will have to jog 1 2/3 hours and bike 3 1/3 hours.

The product of 1 1/2 and 2 is
Over [174]

Method 1:

Convert the mixed number to the improper fraction:

1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1\cdot2+1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}

Make the product:

1\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot2=\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot2

<em>canceled 2</em>

=\dfrac{3}{\not2_1}\cdot\not2^1}=\boxed{3}

Method 2:

1\dfrac{1}{2}=1+\dfrac{1}{2}

1\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot2=\left(1+\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\cdot2

<em>use the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

(1)(2)+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)(2)=2+1=\boxed{3}
